Spell Bee Word: Yogurt


What does yogurt mean?

Word: Yogurt

Part of Speech: Noun

Meaning: Yogurt means a thick, slightly sour food made from milk, such as the dahi we eat at home.

How do you spell yogurt?

Syllables: yo - gurt

Tricky part: The vowel sound in the second beat is the u you hear in fur, so ar and er are wrong there. Oxford also accepts a British spelling with an h after the g.

Watch out for: yogert, yoguart, yogart

Memory tip: The second vowel sounds like the u in fur and burn, and it is spelt with that same u.

Yogurt in a sentence

Example 1: Mumma adds yogurt to the raita.

Example 2: A bowl of cold yogurt is a treat on a hot day.

Example 3: I like mango yogurt for breakfast.

Yogurt came into English from Turkish about 400 years ago, and writers have spelt it in several different ways since then.
