lingerie
Some other words with the same ending and sound include: movie, cookie, brownie, auntie, genie, zombie.
Do you pronounce the ‘ie’ spelling at the end of ‘lingerie’ as /ee/? I don’t, I say ‘lingerie’ to rhyme with ‘on today’, and the Macquarie Dictionary agrees with me. I put words like ‘movie’ and ‘cookie’ here: https://www.spelfabet.com.au/spelling-lists/sorted-by-sound/ee/ie-as-in-chief.
