50 Examples of Words with güe and güi (umlaut)

Dieresis

The umlaut is a spelling form that consists of adding two points horizontally above a letter. In the Spanish language, the umlaut is placed only on the letter U in the cases in which it must be pronounced despite being followed by an I or an E. For example: pingüino, cigüeña.

In our language, the letter Q and the letter G are usually accompanied by a U that is not pronounced. For example: cheese war. The umlaut, in the case of u that follows a G, is the signal that in that case it is necessary to pronounce it: the ü acquires a loudness, unlike the u.

In most languages ​​there is an umlaut, but in some it is much more common than in others: in German, for example, a large number of words have an umlaut. In the case of Spanish, on the other hand, it is less frequent and its use is restricted to a single case.

Incorrect uses

The aforementioned rule is equivalent to saying that words with umlauts are those that will have güe or gui.

Sometimes there can be incorrect uses of the umlaut, the most common are when between a G and a vowel that is not I or E there is a U with loudness. For example:

umbrella. (It does not have an umlaut since the u has sound without the need for the sign)
