Does aim have a long vowel sound?

No, "aim" does not have a long vowel sound. It has a short vowel sound, similar to the vowel sound in "cat" or "man."

Here's why:

* Spelling: The "a" in "aim" is followed by a single consonant, which is a common indicator of a short vowel sound.

* Pronunciation: When you say "aim," the "a" sound is short and quick, not drawn out like a long vowel.
