Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) transcription of the target word
The target word 'phlegm' has a silent letter 'g' and is pronounced as /flɛm/.
Identifying silent letters is essential to determining the true phonetic ending sound of a word.

'realm' = /rɛlm/, 'gem' = /dʒɛm/, 'gleam' = /ɡliːm/, 'phlegmatic' = /flɛɡˈmætɪk/.
Rhymes depend on matching identical vowel-consonant final sound combinations regardless of spelling.
