Depends on language i’m speaking in, I really like how in polish ksenomorf sounds, but in english i use zeen-o-morph because its easier for me to pronounce quickly
Xenomorph isn't the name of the species, but if you want to hear how it's pronounced in-universe then it's said in the briefing in Aliens by Gorman (i.e. zeeno).
If it's impossible for the Xenomorph's blood to reach the floor because it would have to cross an infinite number of halfway distances there it's a Zeno

Ksenomorf is so goated
I pronounce it "The Alien" because I actually understood what Gorman was saying during the briefing in Aliens. Straightjacket? Padded cell? Worth it
"Excuse me sir, a what?"

It was pronounced each way at least once in alien:earth iirc, which did not help
If the Xenomorph’s blood is likely to melt through your aluminum floor, it’s zeeno.

And if its name is Steve?
Steve O’Morph?
Zee like NeoZeed
Ksenomorf
Zee-no-morph
Both are fine though, I've never been like "Oh they said that weirdly" when I heard someone pronounce the other way
Zeeno-
It’s the most correct pronunciation for things that use xeno- as a prefix, like xenograft or xenophobia.
The first one
Zen-ah-morph
zeen-o.
Honestly I use both lol
Ze-no-morf
Well in greek Xenomorph means strange form
zeeno morph
the ktseno must be purged
When it comes to experiences I am a tzenofiliac.
"ZEE-noe-morph" is how I most often hear it, and I've lived all over the continental US.
But, for those Americans who are too intelligent and cultured, who say la-BOR-a-tor-y and ad-VER-tis-ment, it's "ZEN-oh-morph".
I've always said "zee" more by impulse than anything but whenever I hear "zen" I think to myself "ooh, that's nice." lol
Depends on how British you want to sound. The harder the "zEEEE", the more American it is.
"zen-o-morph" - standard british
"zeen-o-morph" - standard American
"zan-o-morph" - tea and biscuits and her majesty the queen
"zEEEno-morph" - gunshots and bald eagle noises
I pronounce it 'zeen-o-morph' because I'm not Bri'ish. :-P
