Is sit a long vowel word?

No, "sit" is not a long vowel word. It has a short "i" sound.

Here's why:

* Short vowels have a quick, sharp sound. In "sit," the "i" makes a short "i" sound, like the "i" in "pin" or "fish."

* Long vowels have a drawn-out, open sound. They often are spelled with a vowel followed by a vowel or a silent "e."
