Speech & Pronunciation

anti-

Hi,
how should I pronounce the prefix anti-?
I once asked about semi-, which can be either semih or seh-my, but I think it's usually semih... I thought the same applied to anti-, but I'm not sure. Hmm. Typical words:

Antidepressant
Antivirus
Anti-intrusion
Antiaggression

Thanks. Emotion: smile

I've always pronounced - mi- in semi- the way it sounds in 'me', and the same goes for anti- : like in 'tee'.

Thanks.
Sorry, I made a mistake, I meant "seh-mee" and "ann-tee" instead of "seh-mih" and "ann-tih".
