How to Pronounce 'Cinna'

It's SIN-a.
(Boohoo..... I've been pronouncing it wrong for ages!)

According to the dictionary (or that page my class got in TLC) the correct pronunciation of the word 'Cinna' is SIN-a. Of course, in Italian "ci" is pronounced CHI, obviously not the case here.

Kay, well, now that's cleared up...

  6. "Sin-uh" is the way in which Shakespeare's Cinna in Julius Caesar is pronounced. So, if this one is any sort of allusion, it should obviously keep the same pronunciation.

  10. Plutarch? Caesar? Cato? Cinna? Octavia? Flavius? Venia? Cecelia? Portia? Claudius? Coriolanus?!
    Seemingly old fashioned names are the fashion in the Capitol, hmm? Seeing as (MOST) of them ae from the Capitol (except for Cato and Cecelia) it would explain the extravegant names they use on their children.
