发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
All these words rhyme with the /-eɪk/ sound at the end of forsake. They show the regular -ake spelling (take, make, cake, sake) and common exceptions where -ea- is pronounced /eɪ/ (break, steak). Beware: Japanese sake (a rice wine) is /ˈsɑːki/, and lookalikes like seek (/siːk/) or soak (/soʊk/) do not rhyme with forsake.
