Schuette is a German surname with a unique spelling. The word is pronounced as /ʃuːt/ in IPA phonetics. The first two letters, "sch," are an actual letter combination in German and are pronounced as a single sound /ʃ/. The "ue" in the middle of the word is pronounced as a long "oo" sound /uː/ and the final two letters, "tt," are pronounced as /t/. This word is a good example of how Germanic languages often have distinct spelling and pronunciation rules compared to English.
