How do you pronunciation ‘infinite’?

leave a comment »

For a learner of English (or any foreign language for that matter), the mastry of pronunciation is always an issue. Just happened to know today that I always pronounced the word infinite wrongly.  What do you think is the correct pronunciation of infinite given that finite is pronounced as /ˈfī-ˌnīt/?

  1.  /ˈin-ˈfī-ˌnīt/
  2. in-fə-nət/

Anyway the latter is the correct choice according to Merriam Webster dictionary (and others as well).
