#1 cari.bbEan - emphasis on the E. Like saying the name Ian
#2 caribb.ean - slight emphasis on the beginning
Which do you say. Where are you from?
I say #2 and I'm from North East North America, Vancouver Canada specifically.
Which is more common in the Caribbean itself, or does it vary by location?
