How Do You Spell DELIGNATED?
Pronunciation: [dɪlˈɪɡne͡ɪtɪd] (IPA) 
The correct spelling is "designated" /ˈdɛzɪɡneɪtɪd/. The initial "d" is followed by the "e" sound represented by the letter "e". This is followed by the "z" sound represented by "z" and the "ai" sound represented by "i". The following "g" is pronounced with a "j" sound, represented by "j". Finally, the last syllable is pronounced with the "uh" sound represented by "ə" before the "t" represented by "t" at the end. "Delignated" /dɪˈlɪɡneɪtɪd/ would indicate an erroneous spelling.
