oughhas something like 8 different pronunciations in English. Good luck!~Enough rhymes with buff Through with do Thorough with... Actually very little in my accent. Burqa, maybe? The last syllable has a schwa vowel for me Plough with cow Though with crow Hiccough with cup Trough with scoff Hough with frock
(for me)
Depending on where you live, thorough is pronounced “thur-oh” and hiccough is spelled “hiccup”.
Ahh, yes! I had meant to add something like "in my English" but then I get so thrown off by bei g unable to think of a rhyme for "thorough" that I forgot
