+40 words with GUE and GUI without umlauts

For form the "G" sound What we find in the word "water" is not always as simple as writing the letter "G". If the vowels that go behind are the "E" or the "I" we must add a "U" behind the letter "G" so that the sound is correct. You can see the difference in sound between the words "geranium" and "war".

This concept of the interleaved "U" that does not emit any sound can be difficult to understand at times, so in this lesson from a TEACHER we want to give you some examples of words with gue and gui without umlauts.

Before going fully into the examples of words with gue and gui without umlauts, we are going to discover these sounds for you. And it is that in Spanish there are several spelling rules and one of the most common and used is double sound of the letter "G". This letter will sound like a "J" if it is accompanied by the vowels "E" or "I", for example:

• people
• spin
• religion
• steer
• gigantic

Therefore, we need some method to be able to pronounce the sound "G" as of the word "equal", but before the vowels "E" and "I". For the letter "G" to behave the same as it does when accompanied by the vowels "A", "O" and "U", we must

add just after it the vowel "U" that it will have a mute sound, but that it will indicate that this word should be pronounced with the sound "G" and not "J". For example:

• war
• guide
• swallow
• guitar
• guillotine

In case we wanted that "U" to have a sound of its own, we should add an umlaut on. For example:

• antiquity
• drain
• convict
• Penguin
• forge

Summarizing, we could determine that the sound "G" is written differently depending on the vowels that have behind it and that to make it sound like the word "cat" it should be written as follows: GA, GUE, GUI, GO, GU.

In this other lesson we will discover just the opposite: the words with GÜE and GÜI with umlauts.
