In words like "of" and "safety," the letter f is pronounced like the letter v.
They are usually Greek words: amphitheatre, photo, amphora
The letters "ph" usually sound like "f." For example, the word "laugh" sounds like /laf/; the word "rough" sounds like /ruf/. Sometimes the letters are written together but belong to two different syllables, in which case they sound like "p" and "h." Example: haphazard
the pH forms an f sound, like fone
Because the word comes from the Greek word delphis, and like many Greek words, the "ph" is commonly used for the "f" sound.
Generally speaking, words with ph derive from Greek, which uses the digraph phi for the f sound ( although originally it was pronounced p+h, as in up-hill or hop-house).
Nothing in ancient greek starts with an "f". Tyhe Greeks had no letter "f", instead they had "phi" which is like the "pH" sound at the beginning of "philosophy". Many words begun with "pH" Love - philos fear - phobos light - photos
of that's the only one that comes to mind. it has a /v/ sound.
A tongue twister with "ph" and "gh" sounds and the letter "f" is: "Fred fed Phil’s phat pheasant in the phosphorescent light."
The term "phishing" is pronounced the same as the word "fishing". The 'ph' has an '"f" sound like phone, pharmacy, or phonetic. The "PH" stands for "Personal History" as the scammer is usually posing as a legitimate interest who needs your information.
If you think about it really hard, pH doesn't quite make the F sound, but it's own unique sound very similar to F. Speak out loud: The P sound followed by the H sound. Keep going faster: "P---H, P--H, P-H, PH, until the two letters are closely heard next to each other. This is when you should understand why PH makes the F sound and how the letter H makes the letter P sound so much different when placed right after it. You can do the same thing with SH, TH, LK, etc. just think about it out loud.
