How to pronounce "amethyst"?
Dear teacher, while helping my child with their spelling homework, we came across the word "amethyst," and neither of us knew how to pronounce it. So, I decided to send you a quick message to clarify the pronunciation.

Good day


Thank you for your question. The word "amethyst" is pronounced as follows;  A-MUH-THIST. In English it can be a bit confusing as we occasionally do not pronounce words the way in which they are spelt. But we can break them down using phonetic spelling and if spelt the way it should be said, then we spell and pronounce is as A-MUH-THIST.


I hope this helps you and we look forward to any future questions you may have.
