Does the word weight end with two consonant sounds?

No, the word "weight" does not end with two consonant sounds.

Here's why:

* The last sound in "weight" is the /t/ sound. This is a single consonant sound.

* The "gh" in "weight" is silent. It does not contribute to the pronunciation of the word.

Therefore, "weight" ends with a single consonant sound, the /t/ sound.
