I knew vergünza had a ü, and then I searched for more. I came across pingüino, but that's it. Does anyone know of any others?

Write the word in Spanish along with the English translation please. smile

The U has two dots on it or "diéresis" if the U should be pronounced after the letter G and before the letters I or E.

Guitarra. The U has no diéresis so it's not pronounced like in the English word guitar.

Guerra. The U has no diéresis so it's not pronounced like in the English word guest.

The word verguenza should have a diéresis on the U ( it's not in my keyboard) because the U is pronounced.

The word aguita should have a diéresis on the U because it's pronounced.

Sorry I don't have the U with diéresis in my keyboard.
