      Originally thought cabin but didn’t stick. Kay-bin 100%.

        Same here. But I’d not be surprised if we have Cabin for kbin at some point.

    K’bin sounds more like I’m answering a k’nock at the door but with a cold.

    Kay-bin for sure. Never occurred to me to pronounce it the other way

    Kay-bin.

    I wouldn’t trust my kids around someone that pronounces it k’bin

      K’bin sounds like a Klingon name.

        I thought in Klingon they pronounced those kind of names like Kay-bin

          I don’t think Klingon has a K’ anywhere, in fact in Klingon it would be written “Q” and followed by some vowel, like in Qapla’ or in Qi’yaH

              That’s still likely a mistransliteration (or maybe because those are proper names), but Klingon has only “q” and “Q” (which depending on the capitalization are pronounced differently, treated as different letters), technically there’s no “K” in the Klingon alphabet, you can see it in the pIqaD:

              https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:KLI_pIqaD.svg

              Similar as with the “f” from “Worf”, there wouldn’t be a straight “non-destructive” way to write it in Klingon.

    Who the fuck says k’bin?

    I say kay-bin, because it kind of looks like it should sound like that, imo.

    K’bin feels like I’m just trying to make the word as short as possible.

    Cabin or Ki-bin both feel like I’m adding new letters just because. To me, it would be like calling reddit “reddita” or “reedit”.

    Kay-bin seems like the only correct way. Cabin or K’bin just feels wrong for no particular reason. The name honestly just makes me think of KDE.

      Same, k-anything has just been beaten into my brain as “oh a KDE app!”

      “Cabin” with a strong emphasis on the first syllable seems hillarious though.

  • fiat_lux

    Kay-bin. Mostly because when I first saw the name I assumed it was a KDE package.

    Non-native speaker here. I get kay-bin, but how are you supposed to say k’bin?

    • jon

      Kuh-bin, with the first syllable short and emphasis on the second.
