Hey There!
I'd like to know how is "destined" pronounced? I mean just simple destined or "des-tin-id"?
Waiting to have a sooner reply,

"destine" is two syllables.
"destined" is two syllables.
The only time the -ed adds a syllable is when the verb ends in a /t/ or /d/ sound. Examples:
sound (one syllable) sounded (two syllables)
invite (two syllables) invited (three syllables)
want (one syllable) wanted (two syllables)
need (one syllable) needed (two syllables) |
