Question

Why is the "t" silent in tsunami?

Answer 1

@Kfins99 @beccaboo333

Answer 2

The T is there because it is pronounced "tsunami", not "sunami", in its original language. If you choose not to pronounce the T in your language/dialect, that's fine.
It is correctly pronounced as Tzunami, with a clear 'z'.
