Is opposite a short vowel word?

No, "opposite" is not a short vowel word. It contains the long vowel sound "o" in the first syllable.

Here's why:

* Short vowels are typically found in words with one syllable, like "cat," "dog," or "hop."

* Long vowels are often found in words with multiple syllables, where the vowel sound is stretched out, like in "opposite" (op-po-site).

Therefore, "opposite" is a long vowel word.
