Does the word menu have a long vowel sound?

No, the word "menu" does not have a long vowel sound. It has a short "e" sound, similar to the "e" in "bed".

Here's why:

* The "u" is silent. The "u" in "menu" is silent, so it doesn't contribute to the vowel sound.

* The "e" is short. The "e" at the end of "menu" is a short vowel sound, as it is followed by a consonant.

Therefore, "menu" has a short "e" sound, not a long one.
