What is the correct way to pronounce "Ameen" in the prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people differ in how they say the Ameen...?

Answer:
No, the Sunnah is to elongate it: Ameen.
As for the one who says "Ameen" (with a short vowel), no, "Ameen" (with a short vowel) does not mean: Ameen.
The Sunnah is to elongate it, because its meaning is: Grant our request, O our Lord.
Likewise, "Ammiin" (with a shaddah on the mim) does not have this meaning here. Al-Ammiin: the ones who intend, the ones who intend the Sacred Mosque.
So the languages have three forms: "Ammiin" meaning those who intend.
And "Ameen" (with a short vowel) means trustworthiness.
As for "Ameen" (with a long vowel and no shaddah), its meaning is: Grant, and this is the one intended here.
