How Do You Say This?

I can't pronounce cichlid. Is it Chi-lid or Sick-lid? I have no idea lol

 

[AquaticJ]

Sicklid

It's sick-lid.

I've heard friends say even more disappointing pronunciations like chich-lid or sit-lid.

Lol so funny you posted this. Reading posts here I always said chick-lid in my head, glad to see I’m not the only one.

I now say sick-lid out loud but now that I have them they are my chiclet babies.

I always said chick-lid. But yeah, now I know it’s sick-lid. Despite English being my first and only language, I still suck at it.

I learnt it as sick-lid so i guess i was lucky.
