It would be your second phonetic pronunciation!. It WOULD be "twi" as in "Twin" had the word ended with just the letter "L" or if the word "Twilight" included a double "L"!. For example as in the word "Twine", the letter "I" is pronounced as the word "eye"!. Had the word "Twine" ended with just the letter "N", that would have changed the pronunciation of the word!.

Where is your friend from!? Seems to me like English is not her first language!. English is not my first language, and if I were to pronounce it in my mother tongue, it would sound like this: Tweeleet Funny, I know!.

The word, as pronounced in English, is pronounced twy-light (following your own phonetic sample)Www@QuestionHome@Com
