DARSE VERGÜENZA and a note on –güe–
In Spanish “ge” and “gi” sound exactly like “je” and “ji”, (“ají” and “agí” sound exactly alike). If you want the “g” sound before an “e” or “i”, you put an “u” in the middle. For example, in “águila”, the “g” in the “gui” sounds like the “g” in “gato”. Here the “u” is a silent “u” (like the u in “queso”)
If you want that the “u” in “gue” or “gui” having a sound, you put the dots over it.
So:
- “ge” has 2 sounds (“j” and “e”)
- “gue” has 2 sounds (“g” and “e”)
- and “güe” has 3 sounds (“g”, “u” and “e” )
In Spanish “u” and “ü” have the same sound.
