/i:/ is often a SHORT vowel! Front, close vowel sound /i:/ is actually short in a lot of words because of pre-fortis clipping. It's a process where voiceless consonants shorten long vowel sounds and /i:/ is the most shortened of all the monophthongs by this process. | Pronunciation Studio

Open vs Closed Syllables — made simple! Open syllable: ends in a vowel → the vowel says its name me • go • ti-ger Closed syllable: ends in a consonant → the vowel says its short sound cat • bed • sun 👉 When kids know this rule, decoding gets faster and spelling makes sense!
