mi

/mi/ · A1 · noun · f

mu

Greek letter μ: English says mu, Spanish says mi, as modern Greek does

Spanish names the letter μ the way modern Greek pronounces it (μι, /mi/), while English keeps the older mu. Same pattern as ni for nu. It is feminine like all letter names: la mi. Not to be confused with mi meaning my, or the musical note mi.
