 Pronunciation. By far the most common pronunciation of AGAIN, in all parts of the United States, is /euh gen"/, with the same vowel heard in yet and pep. The pronunciation /euh gayn"/, rhyming with pain, occurs chiefly in the Atlantic states. AGAIN said as /euh gin"/, with the vowel of pit or sip, or with a vowel somewhere between /e/ and /i/, is the common pronunciation in much of the South, where /e/ and /i/ tend to become neutralized, or more like one another, before /m/ and /n/, leading to a lack of noticeable distinction between such pairs as pen and pin, ten and tin.
