How Do You Spell OFFAGAIN?

Pronunciation: [ˈɒfɐɡˌe͡ɪn] (IPA)

The spelling of the word "offagain" may seem confusing, but it follows the rules of English phonetics. In IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) transcription, it is pronounced as /ɒfəɡɛn/ or "ah-fuh-gen". The first syllable "off" is pronounced with the short "o" sound and the second syllable "again" is pronounced with the "a" sound in "cat". The added schwa sound (/ə/) serves as a connecting vowel between the two words. "Offagain" is often used colloquially to describe a situation where someone abruptly leaves and then returns repeatedly.
