In English, "TH" can represent two sounds:
- The dental fricative (stick your tongue out and touch your top incisors and blow air THrough them. You will find this sound in THrough, THink, THorough and the like.
- The voiced interdental or dental fricative. This occurs in words like THem, THat, THe and the like.
You can also find compound words where the T and H are pronounced separately such as poTHead and hoTHouse. Be careful with Indian names, though. I once had a student named "Shi the ad" but he pronounced it differently than might be expected (Take out the spaces because the obscenity filter won't allow it, otherwise).
If the word came from German or Greek, all bets are off. Phthisis, for example, is pronounced "tisis".
