How do you pronounce medicine?

[Natsku]

In AIBU because handy poll function.
In DD's english (as a foreign language) lesson she was told that medicine is pronounced med-sin, with no i sound in the middle but I have never heard anyone say it like that. So how do you pronounce medicine?
YABU = med-sin
YANBU = med-i-sin/med-e-sin (not really sure how to write out that pronunciation)

Med-i-sun

Neither one. The middle i sound is there but very very subtle.

Very interesting!!
Different pronunciations in UK English and US English

I'm pretty sure it can be either, depending on where you're from.

I'm guessing King Charles would say med-sun, which is why your Dd has been taught to say it.

I say med-i-sun, but where I live people say ga-ridge for garage, so what do I know?!

This

Med-Sin

Med-sun. But DD is growing up in a different area of the country to where I grew up and pronounces it med-i-sin.

How do you pronounce garage?

Med uh sin but the uh is barely there.

Med-i-sin. I am a Kiwi. Am pretty sure DH pronounces it the same, and he has the public school English accent.

MIL pronounces it med-sin. Her accent is a gentle Estuary, I think.
FIL also pronounces it med-sin. He has a 1950s public school accent, with occasional traces of posh Fife.

Med-uh-sun. North England.

I probably pronounce them both ways (see also 'been' - bin/been).

In my head it's med-i-sin but I'm sure I've said medsin out loud in the past.

The second option. Med-sin makes me want to throw things

Med-e-son - SE England

My friend is a doctor and so studied med-sun. Up until then we all called it med - eh - sin. I still do but it was called med-sun at her uni.

i've only ever heard posh folk call it med-sin eg 'sebastian/cressida is now at oxford studying med-sin, dahhliingg'

It's medsun

Med-ih-sin

I've just asked myself the question and realised that when I say it in the context of the study of, I say med-sin, but if I say it in the context of taking some, I say med-i-sin. Utterly bizarre and illogical! 😵‍💫🤣

The people who say medcin are the same ones who say choclit.
Medisn OP.

Med-s'n.

I say med-sun - S Londoner by birth and it's always sounded a bit Cockney to me. DS2, who has autism and very delayed speech, calls it 'med-song' with a French sounding last syllable, which sounds quite exotic!

Med-sin for me. The other way always make me think people are deliberately saying it incorrectly for comedic value like bolog-nay-see or miss-cheef

Med i s uh n but the i is barely pronounced

The Cambridge dictionary link above says that it should be two syllables in UK English and three in American.

I use three syllables, I'm not American. I'm quite surprised by the alleged British pronunciation. At the time of writing, 80% in the poll agree with me.

Actually, two other pronunciation guides I've now googled give a three-syllable British pronunciation. So the Cambridge dictionary is in a minority.
