Clementine - pronunciation

[toughgetsgoing]

how would you pronounce it? I know there's not totally a 'correct' pn because we're not in france but the name is french etc, but how would you and which do you prefer?

Tine to rhyme with wine.

Had a tense conversation with another Clementine mother random friend of a friend who had gone for the teen pronunciation- we were never going to agree (or be friends for that matter)😁

Teen.

Tyne not teen

It's tine. Though everyone pronounces it tyne which really surprised me.

I mean it's teen not tine. Clementine - clue's in three spelling.

I'm so confused reading this, it seems people even pronounce Clementine the fruit differently! 🤣

@Shannith, but tine and tyne sound the same.
I’d pronounce it teen as in Mrs Churchill.

Friends daughter is called clementine

And in teen.

It has two pronunciations in British English.
The first - teen - is more usual but the other is fine too:

From Collins dictionary:
in British English
(ˈklɛmənˌtiːn , -ˌtaɪn)
NOUN
a citrus fruit thought to be either a variety of tangerine or a hybrid between a tangerine and sweet orange

Tyne as in Tyne bridge.

Tine but I am from NZ.

The fruit: teen
The name: tine

I pronounce it so the last syllable rhymes with Caroline

With the last syllable in Caroline!

I say teen as in the fruit ut the song was about a clementine as in time.
