How to Pronounce Giraffe
To pronounce the word “giraffe” correctly, follow these steps:
- Start with the hard “g” sound, similar to the “g” in “go” or “get.”
- Move on to the short “i” sound, as in “sit” or “in.”
- Next, pronounce the double “rr” sound, which is a rolled or trilled “r” sound. It may take practice to master this sound.
- Finish with the “aff” sound, pronounced like the word “half” without the “h.”
Put it all together and the correct pronunciation of “giraffe” is: juh-RAFF.
