The confusion of sound

The three words se pronounceian in a very similar way. Especially you'll find o ay, which is exactly the same, since the h in Spanish it is silent.

We call this phenomenon homophony, and it occurs in many words in Spanish.

Homophones words

As you see, it was pronouncedian same, but they are written differently.

In this case we see the difference in the h.

There are many other homophonous words in Spanish. Let's look at some examples:

• Echo / done

These are just some examples of words that are pronounceian same but what changedian of meaning. There are many more!

THERE IS – THERE: The power of pronunciation

What's up with you'll find y there? Are they also homophones?
