Answer 4

Not necessarily. The English language is one of the most difficult languages to learn, mainly because there are so many irregular sounds and pronunciations. Yes, the "ui" in guide do sound like an "i," however there are many other words where that is not the case. The most common pronunciation would be as in the word "bruise." The "ui" is pronounced like a long "u" or a double "o," such as in food. Other words that follow this sound pattern would be suit, cruise, juice, and fruit. Another pronunciation for the "ui" vowel combination would be like in the word "fluid," where both the "u" and the "i" are pronounced, resulting in two syllables. There is no way of knowing which pronunciation should be used; the only way is by learning the different words and remembering the difference.
