Question

+1

I know that the word ‘Kind of’ is pronounced ‘Kinda’ when Relaxed pronunciation

Is there many cases where the pronunciation of "Kinda[kaɪndə]" changes more relax and is pronounced as "Kina [kaɪnə]"?

Is "Think of [θɪŋk əv]" often pronounced "Think of [θɪŋ əv]" on the same principle?

I have heard this with native speakers in a VERY relaxed situation. I would never suggest this for a non native speaker.

The only relaxed version I have heard of this is: THING-KOV

Yes, "kina" would not be uncommon in casual speech, I think.

I think you mean as amended.

No, "thing of" for "think of" is not something that I hear.
