minus-square@ChonkyOwlbearlinkEnglish2•5 months agoJig - take the Ji from Jim and add a “g” Oboe - oh bow Tare - take the “T” from top and the “are” from share. Or more annoyingly, switch the P for T in “pear”. Yoke - same as woke, poke, toke, joke but with a Y as the first sound. It’s also pronounced the same as yolk in most accents.
