Absolutely! The word "virgin" is pronounced with a "gee" sound, like "j" in jump. Click here to hear it pronounced - http://www.howjsay.com/index.php?word=virgin&submit=Submit The word "version" is pronounced with a sound that most dictionaries transcribe as "zh" - it's the way the "s" sounds in treasure.

They are very different sounds. I hope that helped!

Do you mean 'virgin'? Neither 'virgine' nor 'vigine' are English words.
