Always use the long “e” sound, never the short “e” sound or an “a” sound.

It’s helpful to remember that the word “meme” doesn’t have the letter “a” in it, and it also isn’t pronounced with an “a” sound.

Remember that the last “e” in “meme” is silent.

Over time, you’ll start to automatically pronounce “meme” like “meem. ”

If you’re ever struggling to remember the right pronunciation, just think about the origins of the word to help you out. The word “gene” is pronounced with a long “e” sound, and the last “e” is silent, just like how “meme” is pronounced.
