Hidentity:Wrong. Satchet is spelled "Sachet" and it is pronounced "sashei" and not "sakit". Well, except you mean "circuit" which is closer in pronunciation to "sakit". A sachet /ˈsæʃeɪ/ is a small cloth scented bag filled with herbs, potpourri, or aromatic ingredients. #JustSaying |

maggilove:Loool....sister please,English is quite different and so silly,i so hate that language..*spits*.the fact that it doesn't have a stable pattern alone makes it even more silly....knowledge is correct but priviledge is wrong??..i mean what's that??... You're a graduate of it as you say na,i don't need to give more examples of the idiotic language we have chosen as our lingua franca... Check poilsh,italian and some others,these languages abide with one pattern and makes it even easier to learn. As for me o,i've given up on Englist tail tail.. #OkBye. |

harbdulrasaq88:Why do fat chance and slim chance mean the same thing? How can a girl be both cool and hot at the same time? Why is it cargo by ship, but shipping by car? Doeant expecting the unexpected make the unexpected expected? |

oluamid:Not circuit friend, I did not write the actually transcription anyway. But I used an electronic dictionary that pronounced it as such. Used to pronounce it as you did before now. I think that we both need to research a bit more. Thanks for being so civil in your approach. |

Another lunacy is when someone says "The lady on red dress","instead" of "The lady in red"...cuz she's actually "in" the dress. I swear i understand Yoruba more than this Lingua Francisca called English. |

Hidentity:Don't rely on electronic dictionaries. The word is not pronounced 'sakit' but as the other poster indicated. Check a standard dictionary or even Google. |

The English language is easily the. most catholic language in the world...at times, by streets, it thumps other languages in terms of its cosmopolitan character.It has taken from so many languages in the world.From the Greeks to the Romans; from the Vikings in Holland to the French, to the Germans even from Swahili. It had its own teething problems.For 25 centuries, people erroneously explained the structure of English with Latin structure or grammar until people began to question the anomaly.But, it has weathered the storm down the ages and its beauty never ceases to capture the imagination. |
