How do you pronounce China?

The most common pronunciation of "China" in English is CHY-nuh.

Here's a breakdown:

* CH: Like the "ch" in "chair" or "church".

* Y: Like the "y" in "yes" or "you".

* nuh: Like the "uh" in "but" or "sun".

It's important to note that the pronunciation in Chinese (Mandarin) is quite different, with the "Ch" sounding more like a "ch" in "check" and the "a" sound being longer.
