How Do You Spell MALAMATE?
Pronunciation: [mˈalɐmˌe͡ɪt] (IPA) 
The spelling "Malamate" can be a bit confusing from a phonetic standpoint. The correct pronunciation is /mæləˈmeɪt/, with the emphasis on the second syllable. The "a" in the first syllable is pronounced like the "a" in "cat," while the "e" in the second syllable is pronounced like the "a" in "hey." The "m" and "l" sounds are straightforward, but the combination of "m" and "a" in the second syllable can trip up some spellers. Keep in mind the pronunciation and you'll spell "Malamate" correctly every time.
