How Do You Spell AFFILIATE?

Pronunciation: [ɐfˈɪlɪˌe͡ɪt] (IPA)

The word "affiliate" is spelled with two "f"s because they represent two separate sounds in the word. The first "f" represents the voiceless labiodental fricative sound /f/, which is produced by bringing the bottom lip in contact with the upper teeth and expelling air through the mouth. The second "f" represents the voiced labiodental fricative sound /v/, which is produced in the same way as /f/, but with the vocal cords vibrating. Together, these sounds create the unique pronunciation of "affiliate."
