Hi, it's pronounced in a variety of ways: Twenty (like in British English) Twendy (this d would be like the tapped t in "atom" for example) Tweny (no t) Twuny (no t and with a schwa vowel) etc. Can you read IPA? ni/ , no t and with a schwa vowel, like the second audio clip on MW, but without the T.

Hi,

Twenty (like in British English)
Twendy (this d would be like the tapped t in "atom" for example)
Tweny (no t)
Twuny (no t and with a schwa vowel)
etc.

Can you read IPA? I say /tw?ni/, no t and with a schwa vowel, like the second audio clip on MW, but without the T. Look it up here:
