How Do You Spell SHOWEST?

Pronunciation: [ʃˈə͡ʊəst] (IPA)

The spelling of the word "showest" can be a bit confusing. In IPA phonetic transcription, it is pronounced as /ˈʃoʊəst/, with the stress on the first syllable. The "oe" combination in the middle of the word is a diphthong that sounds like the "o" in "go" and the "e" in "me".
