E, e, e, e sound. Nissan. Nissan, or G, or G, Sam, Sam, Sam. Again, there is a very similar word to this. Sum. G U, t, t, t, t, t. Some. Take a look at this one and e says, But the last thing that changes when you pronounce. So this is two. Okay. I know it's a difficult, but just remember some was to have a letter pronounced. I'll show you some more examples. That is pronounced as since last vowel is 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00. You have to write as a sale, in this case, changes to 0 when you pronounce. Or because of the historical reason that pronunciation was changed. I'll show you some more examples. To that. Goal is pronounced as 0, 0, 0, 0. 28. Conclusion: Hi, everyone.
