Mint.

I'm used to the Dutch ''Minotaurus'' and it has sorta the I from Mint in it.

MinO - taur

I'm special!

you're not special I say the same

Mint.

I've heard it pronounced, My-No-Tore, also My-Na-Tore.... I prefer the former.

Like mint, with an emphasis on the first syllable.

Silky! What a lovely question to see in my feed :)

I pronounce the i like the 'i' in 'mint'. Simpler.

Yay! It makes me happy that you comment! And I am sorry for not responding any sooner! I have not been devoting much time to FA lately, but I'll be more active again, as of now. :)

Mint!

I usually say myno, but I think it's incorrect. ;n; They come from Minos, right? That's pronounced like "Mint".
It makes me feel like I'm saying they're mini, though, and that's so unflattering! xD

mint ^v^

Mint

Mind :3

Mint.

Mint, for sure.

I would also choose "Mint".

Mind

Even with a slight ability to confuzle words, Mint.

I've always thought the first syllable was set - like 'mint'. The second syllable, either a short 'a' or short 'o'. The third is usually pronounced like 'tar' or 'tour'. Depends on dialect/accent.

I haven't ever heard the first syllable pronounced like 'mine' like some of the posts above. Interesting.

Yahr, similarly there was some debate as to if the "i" in "Linux" was pronounced as "eye" (Mind) or "ih" (Mint).

Officially, according to Torvalds, the "i" in "Linux" is pronounced with an "ih", though I use "eye" personally.

In the case of our fair minotaur I personally tend to pronounce the "i" as an "eye" and not as "ih" or mint". Furthermore, I usually pronounce Minotaur as "M-eye-nah-taur". (As mentioned unfavourably by Toro above)

Sometimes, it's worth researching the aetiology of language to understand how it came to exist in order to figure these things out. Let's take a look...

Hmmm...

"Minotaur" would appear to translate as : Angry Cow

Unless the word Minotaur pertains to some relationship with Minos? In which case, the "i" being pronounced as an "eeh", Minotaur would be pronounced : "M-eeh-no-taur"

Have I just wrote a whole page of crap that hasn't raised our consciousness in any perceptible direction? Yes. That's pronounced "Superfluous waffle".

The options...

"M-eye-nah-taur" (Mind) ("Eye")
"M-eye-no-taur" (Mind) ("Eye")
"M-ih-no-taur" (Mint) ("Ih")
"M-eeh-no-taur" (Meep)

Upon review, I'd say that "Mint" leads to the most correct use of the language, even though mere habit will likely as not hold me hostage to "M-eye-nah-taur" (Mind) forever more.
