How do you pronounce san

"San" can be pronounced in a few different ways, depending on the context:

1. As a Japanese honorific:

- This is pronounced like "san" in English, with a long "a" sound, similar to "car".

2. As part of a Spanish word:

- In Spanish, "san" is often part of a saint's name, like "San Antonio". The "a" is pronounced like the "a" in "father" and the "n" is like the "n" in "sun". So, "San" in this context would sound like "sahn".

3. As a stand-alone word:

- If you're just saying "san" by itself, the pronunciation would depend on your language and dialect. It's often pronounced like the Japanese honorific, but could also be said with a shorter "a" sound like "sand".

To be sure, you need to know the context of the word "san".

Is it a Japanese word? A Spanish word? Or something else entirely?
