| Jul 11, 2012 at 13:13 | comment | added | temporary_user_name | I think saying "tin" as in matin won't help-- I don't think this person knows basic French pronunciation. | |

Just “matin”, is it common enough? Usually the writing “in” is pronounced ɛ̃ (nasalized ɛ like in chèvre) while “un” is pronounced œ̃ (nasalized œ like in heure).

It's ɛ̃ like in lin or teint, not œ̃ like un (the number 1). Downvoted for as long as this is not corrected.

The number "1" is really more popular for people who learn French than the word "lin", they probably have never heard anyone say this word.

| Jul 6, 2012 at 11:58 | comment | added | rdurand | I agree, they're the same [o]. And I was really talking about the "co" part of co-op. | |
| Jul 6, 2012 at 11:27 | comment | added | Un francophone | And I'd pronounce the o of Augustin and of Cauchy in the same way [o], while I think that co-op is more open. (As for [œ̃] and [ɛ̃] some accents don't make a difference between [o] and [ɔ]) | |
