Is the “s” or the “c” silent in “scent”?

It looks like the “c” will be silent because it is pronounced similarly to “sent”. I was curious and read about it. What I found: “neither the ‘s’ nor the ‘c’ is fully silent in ‘scent.’ The ‘s’ and ‘c’ work together to make the /s/ sound, like in ‘sent’ or ‘cent.’ The ‘c’ is part of the spelling but doesn’t add a separate sound, it just helps form the ‘s’ sound.”

I definitely think that the C remains silent. I have never heard anyone really pronouncing the C.

You got me on this one. I think the s is silent.

I think it is the s which is silent I have no clue Because we say cement isn’t it.

Your welcome!!

Quite challenging! Because ‘s’ is not immediately followed by a Vowel, thank I think S should remain silent.

I don’t, but you asked the question. Hahaha…

My view is the S comes first so it gets priority over the C. If you you’re just testing us please reveal the answer.. I haven’t slept for 2 days thinking about it.

PS, if I get it right, do I win a prize?

Hmmm 🤔. . .

This question is very scintillating!

Lol . . . Oh wait, is the S or the C in scintillating silent?

Great question 😊

That is a really good question of which I have no clue lol and that is a prime example of why they say that the English language is the hardest to learn.

Is the “s” or the “c” silent in “scent”?

Ohh..if I can remember from school, I think the ‘c’ is silent?? But, then again you best not ask me, my English is terrible?
