Ha, ha, ha! Along with "thing", my Spanish-English dictionary has that
word for the definition of "cosa". Hee, hee, hee... It's pronounced:
['TiN.V.mi] Of course, there are those who say you can only get lax vowels
in front of [N] in English (total bs), and some might be able to start a
consonant with [N], but there's no [g] in it.
