Pronunciation

[edit]

The /ziːni.əl/ pronunciation is just bizarre to me. It's a double n, as in millennial, Benny, etc. so should surely be a short e sound as in those words. However, I see that one of the given citations gives this pronunciation. Equinox 18:47, 17 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

You can easily find videos of persons saying the word. —Justin (koavf)TCM 23:17, 17 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
My instinct would be to pronounce it /ɛkˈsɛniəl/. /ˈziːniəl/ sounds like a blend of Z (as in Generation Z) and millennial. —Mahāgaja · talk 22:34, 10 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
