Here's the breakdown:
* fil-: The "ph" is pronounced as "f"
* OH-: The "o" is pronounced as the long "o" sound, like in "home."
* teez: The "es" at the end is pronounced as a separate syllable, with a soft "s" sound.
Note: The word "philotes" is often used in the context of ancient Greek philosophy, specifically referring to a type of love that involves mutual respect, affection, and intellectual connection.
