Question

which of the following best represents the correct way to pronounce the word piscina in spanish?
(1 point)

○ pee-see-na

○ pee-kee-na

○ pee-shee-na

○ pee-chee-na

Explanation:

In Spanish, the letter "c" before "i" or "e" is pronounced as /θ/ (similar to "th" in "thin") in some regions, but in many standard pronunciations, especially in Latin American Spanish, "c" before "i" can also be pronounced as /s/. The word "piscina" is broken into syllables as "pis - ci - na". The "ci" in "piscina" is pronounced as /see/ (or /θi/ in some European Spanish, but the closest option here is based on the common pronunciation where "ci" is like "see"). So the correct pronunciation breakdown is pee - SEE - na.

Answer:

A. pee-SEE-na
