How Do You Spell UGES?
Pronunciation: [jˈuːd͡ʒɪz] (IPA) 
The spelling of the word "uges" may be confusing to some, but it is pronounced as /yu:ʒ/ in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). This phonetic transcription reveals that the word begins with a "y" sound, followed by a "zh" sound similar to the "s" in "measure". The last letter, "s," is pronounced like the sound at the end of "miss". In French, "uges" means "weeks," but the spelling may seem odd to English speakers who are not familiar with the French language.
