    Close, but the third syllable is different. You’re correct that its not a silent vowel, it’s pronouned exactlt like the short version of the article “a”, as in " a mouse". You know what I mean, as opposed to “ay mouse”.

  However it’s pronounced, I hope he helped cure you of your nihilism.

    Are you trying to get me to talk about nihilism? My reddit days are gone, lol

      Lol no, it’s nihilism. There’s literally “nihil” to talk about.

      I only meant it in the same way that if someone spoke about an author who’s famous for writing about how to deal with depression and I replied “i hope that author helped you with your depression.”

      I’m simply wishing you the best of health.
