When we talk about vowel combinations sounds, it is better to understand some differences in pronunciation:

Digraphs: o "di" means "two", and "graph" means "written", two vowels are written together and they make a sliding sound.

Vowel pairs: two vowel are written together, but only one vowel is pronounced (usually long) and the combined vowel is silent.

For example:

Weight [weyt] the combined vowels make a sliding sound (digraph)

Pain [peyn] the letter "a" is pronounced and the letter "i" is silent. (vowel pair)

I hope that helps!
