↓ Quick Down

 

The words "think" and "thing" have similar sounds but different phonics. Here’s how they differ:

1. "Think" (/ฮธษชล‹k/)

  • The ending sound is /k/ (a hard "k" sound).
  • It has the /ล‹k/ sound, like in "bank" or "link".
  • Example: I think you are right.

2. "Thing" (/ฮธษชล‹/)

  • The ending sound is /ล‹/ (a soft "ng" sound).
  • It has the /ล‹/ sound, like in "sing" or "ring".
  • Example: That thing is mine.

Key Difference in Pronunciation:

  • "Think" ends with a /k/ sound, which is harder and more forceful.
  • "Thing" ends with a /ล‹/ sound, which is softer and nasal.

Try saying them aloud:

  • Think → /ฮธษชล‹k/ (tongue touches the roof of the mouth at the end)
  • Thing → /ฮธษชล‹/ (tongue stays lower in the mouth at the end)
