Is give a short or long vowel word?

"Give" has a short vowel sound.

Here's why:

* Short vowel sound: The vowel "i" in "give" makes a short "i" sound, like in the word "bit."

* Long vowel sound: A long vowel sound would be like the "i" in "bike," where the vowel is pronounced as its letter name.
