How do you pronounce 'insulin'?

[UpUpUpU]

Sorry it is random! Just been watching a documentary on Lucy Letby and one of the people of there was pronouncing 'insulin' in a way that was making my teeth itch! 😂

How do you pronounce it?

Yup, that's the way I say it, some do say In-seewl-in though.
LOL there can't be that many ways to say it,would like to hear how the op heard it that made her teeth itch!😁

There is no r.

Ins-yuh-lin

Although I've now said it so many times aloud to myself it's lost all meaning 😂

Same

Where are people getting the shoe sound from lol

in syu lin

Regional accents?

IN-suh-lin

People with non rhotic accents often put an R in their phonetic spellings. It represents a schwa (neutral vowel sound spelled as "uh").

IN SIR LIN would be pronounced IN SUH LIN.

British - In-syuh-lin
Awful, grating, American bastardisation of the language - In-suh-luhn

Insyuhlin with a bit of a ‘t’ after the first n.

from the Latin inusla, part of the original derivation

in-suh-lin (me)
in-syu-lin (DH)
inz-yah-lun (MIL)

Well there's no 'h' in it...

Listen to Dorothy Hodgkin pronounce it in that video (2 minutes 50 seconds).
In-syoo-lin with a very quick middle syllable. ɪn.sjə.lɪn

People get the shoo sound in the middle because they find it difficult to pronounce the syoo sound. Imagine the King saying suit or super - there'd by a y sound in there that most of us just don't say.

And the Americans dispense with the syoo and just say in-suh-lin ɪn.sə.lɪn

You have been wrong for 30 years. Sorry.

But there’s no pronunciation of a shoe sound in that either?

Same as in the word 'tissue'

MN is very non-rhotic centric, and lots of posters don't realize that there are quite a few of us that pronounce the "r" so the insertion of an "r" to change the vowel sound doesn't work in our accents.

I would say in-syuh-lin or in-shu-lin.

@OhshutupSimonyounobhead
I would say it similar to you as well. Mostly.

Ins-you-lin. The "U" in insulin is always pronounced as the letter itself.

Ince-you-lin

I can understand in-suh-lin as well but I've never head anyone pronounce it with a "sh" sound.

Like this.

I would expect cockneys and those with estuary accents are more likely to have the 'sh' sound.

Maybe their teeth don’t fit properly.
