The word "TAGE" is spelled using the IPA phonetic transcription as /teɪdʒ/. The first sound, /t/, is a voiceless alveolar stop, followed by the diphthong /eɪ/ which is a combination of the sounds /e/ and /ɪ/. The final sound is /dʒ/, which is a voiced postalveolar affricate. This spelling could potentially be confused with other words such as "tage" (Swedish for "days") or "taj" (a type of hat worn in South Asia).
