Originally thought cabin but didn’t stick. Kay-bin 100%.
Same here. But I'd not be surprised if we have Cabin for kbin at some point.
tips fedora "k'bin"
(I say kaybin)
M'k'bin
k'binst'd've
southern accent
Hey y'all, we're headin' down 'er to m'k'bin on the bayou this weeken' if ya wanna tagalong
K'bin sounds more like I'm answering a k'nock at the door but with a cold.
Kay-bin for sure. Never occurred to me to pronounce it the other way
Kay-bin.
I wouldn't trust my kids around someone that pronounces it k'bin
K'bin sounds like a Klingon name.
I thought in Klingon they pronounced those kind of names like Kay-bin
I don't think Klingon has a K' anywhere, in fact in Klingon it would be written "Q" and followed by some vowel, like in Qapla' or in Qi'yaH
Kahless
That's still likely a mistransliteration (or maybe because those are proper names), but Klingon has only "q" and "Q" (which depending on the capitalization are pronounced differently, treated as different letters), technically there's no "K" in the Klingon alphabet, you can see it in the pIqaD:

Similar as with the "f" from "Worf", there wouldn't be a straight "non-destructive" way to write it in Klingon.

Who the fuck says k'bin?
I say kay-bin, because it kind of looks like it should sound like that, imo.
K'bin feels like I'm just trying to make the word as short as possible.
Cabin or Ki-bin both feel like I'm adding new letters just because. To me, it would be like calling reddit "reddita" or "reedit".
Kay-bin seems like the only correct way. Cabin or K'bin just feels wrong for no particular reason. The name honestly just makes me think of KDE.
Same, k-anything has just been beaten into my brain as "oh a KDE app!"
"Cabin" with a strong emphasis on the first syllable seems hillarious though.
Kay-bin. Mostly because when I first saw the name I assumed it was a KDE package.
Kibin
same here, i didnt know i was in the minority on this one lol
The K has got to be a silent one. This place is 'bin!
No, the leading forward slash is silent.
Non-native speaker here. I get kay-bin, but how are you supposed to say k'bin?
Kuh-bin, with the first syllable short and emphasis on the second.
like "book bin" but without the "boo"
like kah-bin
i do kih bin. kih rhyming with like "fi" in fill or "pi" in pill
I pronounce it "kibin"🙃
I say “Kay-bee”; the n is silent
When I refer to the threadiverse in general (including “I saw a post on on…”) I just say lemmy. I actually really dislike the name “kbin”.
No sense in explaining it tho, cuz if you don’t get it, you won’t get it.
Interesting. For some reason kbin sounds better than lemmy to me, but don't super love either.
Both are still better than “beehaw”

In spanish you are likely to default to k'bin (cabin).
Letter K pronunciation varies across the globe, so I think everyone will have variations of it.
What about "quou-been"?
I say kay-bin, but for a third option: cabin
kih-bin
kevin like in "Kevin Bacon"
Native English speakers rarely realize how similar B and V sounds are virtually everywhere else in the world.
In Spanish they are not similar, but both letters represent the same sound, literally.
Kay-bin.
It reminds me of the property manager at my first apartment, back in 1990. She spelled her name "K'ren", and I assumed it was pronounced either Karen, or kuh-Ren. Nope. It was "KAAAAYYY-WRREE-NNN", three syllables in her very southern accent. The stress was on both of the first two syllables. 😂️
KAY bin ..... right? (RIGHT??
