I'm confused! 😕
I learned that「えい」 is pronounced as 「えー」. For example 先生 is "sen・se--" (not "sen・sei".)
But does this rule also apply to a phrase like 住んでいます？ Is it "sun・de・ i・ masu" or "sun・ de--・masu" ??

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason

Sundeimasu is correct, but it tends to change to sundemas in conversations.

한국어로 괜찮으세요?
先生는 명사지요? 그래서 장음로 하니까 "세이"가 "세-"라고 해도 되는데 住んでいます는 住んで하고 います가 붙어서 그래요.
예를 들면 食べています/歌っています/走っています등등 지금 하고 있는 상태를 표현하는 것이라서요. 제가 올린 예시는 모두 다 "~테이마스"라고 발음해요.
