I pronounce it is car-byne. The Americans are keen on car-been.
Depends on what part of the world you originate from ??
In Britain people traditionally pronounce 'Lieutenant' as 'Left-tenant' rather than the American or French 'Loo-tenant'.
Kamlooky, where are you and how does one pronounce carbean

Sometimes I like to be defiant and say "al-um-in-yum", like it should be. My wife tells me to go back to where I came from.
And yes, it's "car-byne".

I still say "fill-it" not "fill-lay".
Hi Gents. It may be of interest to no one but I that the first British carbines of the 1750's were only a bit shorter but the bore diameter was
significantly smaller. Its kar-byne pronunciation in my part of the world (the best part). Pity those that talk like hillbillies. JOHN

In Canada we don’t call a Zebra a Zed-bra! So the American way of saying

You are implying that is an "english" word - is a "french" word, adopted by english speakers too stupid to come up with own word for it - so pronounce as an English speaking hill billy (sa-but) or someone a bit more "worldly" - "say-bo"
