Let's settle this once and for all: Is it Mult-EEE-player or Mult-EYE-player?

Need to settle this once and for all. I keep hearing people say it both ways and I just don't know how it's supposed to be pronounced anymore. Mult-EYE-player sounds right, but I hear people saying the other.

Mut-eye-player sounds more proper.

mult -eee
 
damn poll's at 50 - 50%

Well, it comes from the Latin word multi, which has given us multiply, multiple, and other such words. Therefore, I propose that it be pronounced "mult-ih-player."

" Mut-eye-player sounds more proper. "

My phonetic senses are telling me that mult-EE-player is the correct pronounciation.
 
However, this thread has made me realize that I actually pronounce it BOTH ways interchangeably.  FUCK.

Mult-eh-pleur, from the French word for "clusterfuck".

Multi is pronounced "MOLTEE". 
 
This is the only truth.

I tend to use both. I just go with whatever feels better in the current sentence. 
For example, If I've already said eye or tea in a sentence, then I'll use the other sound when I say multiplayer.

I've only ever hear mult-eye with multimillionaire or mult-eye purpose and even then I've still heard mul-tee millionaire and mul-tee purpose a lot more.

It's mult-e-player. Anyone that thinks otherwise is an ass.

" It's mult-e-player. Anyone that thinks otherwise is an ass. "

I assumed top choice was American pronunciation and the second was British.

" Well, it comes from the Latin word multi, which has given us multiply, multiple, and other such words. Therefore, I propose that it be pronounced "mult-ih-player." "

I dunno, multi-eye sounds better when you're british :P "

" However, this thread has made me realize that I actually pronounce it BOTH ways interchangeably.  FUCK. "

It's supposed to be the first. But I do catch myself saying "mult-eh-player".

Mult-ee-player. 
 
Both are fine, but I favour the second. In fact, I think both pronunciations could be seen as correct, at least colloquially.
 
Of course, if you were to look at it merely as the prefix "multi" placed before the word player, then it would be pronounced   /ˈmʌlti/, or mult-ee, making the first pronunciation correct.

I believe this is the correct answer "

I say both, so idc

You're all fucking crazy, it's definitely mult-EYE-player!

Yes, but in Latin "multi" would be pronounced mul-tee, so it would be pronounced mul-tee-player. The "ih" sound is due to our lazy phonetics that replace far too many sounds with easier variations of "uh."  Or, at least, that's what my 4-years-ago linguistics class  and 5 years ago Latin class are making me think at the moment.  "

So it should really be, mult-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-player. "

" Mult-eh-pleur, from the French word for "clusterfuck". "

" Lelu Dallas mult-EE-pass. "

E.

Mult-ih-player like the pronunciation of multiple.

I'll say either. Multee is my go-to though.

" Mult-ih-player like the pronunciation of multiple. "

Answer seems pretty definitive so far

Microsoft Anna agrees with me, Mult-ee-player

I would think it's a US/British thing? Multeye for Brits and multeee for Americans.

"Leeloo Dallas Moolti Player"

What the hell? Who the fuck says mult-eye-player? That's the dumbest shit I've heard all year. I'm guessing it's either the brain-damaged or foreigners who say it like that, or is this another example of the Americans raping our proud english language?

It can go either way.  Just like "either" can be pronounced "eee-ther" or "eye-ther".

I prounounce it Mul-TEH-Player

Mult-ee-player if you are saying it fast, anything slower than normal talking voice and it's mult-eye-player.
 
I have said "multiplayer" too many times and it is no longer a word.

mult tea playa

I use both, it depends on the context. 

Say chap have you played any mult-eye-player lately? It makes it sound so posh!
