Does the word kitten have a short or long vowel?

The word "kitten" has a short vowel sound.

Here's why:

* The vowel "i" in "kitten" has a short "i" sound, like in "kit" or "sit."

* Long vowel sounds typically have a "long e" sound (like in "see"), a long "a" sound (like in "say"), or a long "o" sound (like in "go").
