The word "vicious conjugate" might seem confusing because of its spelling, but once broken down, it becomes clearer. "Vicious" is spelled /ˈvɪʃəs/ in IPA phonetic transcription, while "conjugate" is spelled /ˈkɒndʒʊɡeɪt/. The combination of these two words results in "vicious conjugate" /ˈvɪʃəs ˈkɒndʒʊɡeɪt/. This phrase is often used in chemistry to describe a type of acid that can react with a base to form a salt. Despite its confusing spelling, understanding the phonetic transcription of each word can make it easier to pronounce and comprehend.
