The spelling of the word "are edge" can be a bit tricky, especially when it comes to pronunciation. In IPA phonetic transcription, it is represented as /ɑr ɛdʒ/. The first syllable "are" is pronounced as "ar" with an open back unrounded vowel sound. The second syllable "edge" is pronounced with the letter "e" pronounced as "ɛ" with an open-mid front unrounded vowel sound and "dge" as "dʒ" with a voiced palato-alveolar affricate sound. When pronounced correctly, "are edge" should be spoken with emphasis on the second syllable, making it sound like "ED-ge."
