Is the first syllable pronounced like “twin” or “twine”?
I’ve always heard it pronounced with a long i, like twine.
/ˈtwaɪnɪŋz/
sorry, that means nothing to me.
What **silenus **said. Long “I”. If it were a short “I” it would be “Twinnings”.
You just have to remember that the “q” is silent.
Basically, “long i.” /aɪ/ represents the sound that corresponds to to word “I” in English. Same as in “buy,” “die,” “fly,” etc.
“Twine-ings.” According to my mother, my grandmother and the young lady who ran the shop where I used to get my Irish Breakfast Tea.
My mother’s family are Twinings (less famous ones). They all pronounce it with a long I.
