3800
ูˆุงู„ุชูŠ ุชุนู†ูŠ ุงู„ู‚ุงุนุฏุฉ: A R C H ุŒ

4480
ูˆุงู„ุชูŠ ุŒ ุจุงู„ุทุจุน ุŒ ุชูู„ูุธ "ark".
02:38
No, of course it isn't. It's arch.

ู„ุง ุŒ ุจุงู„ุทุจุน ู„ูŠุณ ูƒุฐู„ูƒ. ุฅู†ู‡ ู‚ูˆุณ.
02:41
Even though it's a word which comes from Greek, the C H is pronounced [tch].

ูˆุงู„ุบุฑูŠุจุฉ ุฌุฏู‹ุง

word like yacht.

ู„ูƒู† ุจุงู„ุทุจุน ู„ูŠุณ ูƒุฐู„ูƒ. C H [ุตุงู…ุช].

44

ู…ุง ู‡ูˆ ุงู„ุตุญูŠุญ: [sh] edule or [sk] eduleุŸ
03:16
Well, they both are.
45
196320

ุญุณู†ู‹ุง ุŒ ูƒู„ุงู‡ู…ุง.

In British English the pronunciation is [sh]edule,
