How Do You Spell FIGUEREDO?

Pronunciation: [fˈiːɡəɹˈiːdə͡ʊ] (IPA)

"Figueredo" is spelled with the letter "u" after the "g" (gue) because it follows the Spanish language spelling rules. In IPA phonetic transcription, the word is pronounced as /fiɡe'reðo/. The "u" in "gue" creates a hard "g" sound rather than a soft "g" sound as in the word "giraffe." The stress is placed on the third-to-last syllable, which is indicated by the accent mark on the "e" (/e/). Therefore, the proper spelling of this word in Spanish is "Figueredo".
