Sino-Japanese war ?

Is it 'Sigh-know' or 'Seen-know' ?

I've always said "SIGH-know".
But what do I know? grin

I pronounce it the same as John. But then we're both old farts. grin

But I just checked my dictionary and it is pronounced "Sigh-know" with a long i and a long o.

Etymology of the word "Sino-" is "French from Late Latin Sinae, the Chinese, from Greek Sinai, from Arabic Sin (long i), China, from Chinese (Mandarin) Ch'in, dynastic name of the country."

Your on-line language lesson for the day is concluded.
