"Ghoti" is a constructed example in the English language that's often used to highlight the irregularities and complexities of English spelling. It's intended to be a humorous way of illustrating how certain combinations of letters can be pronounced in unexpected ways.
In "ghoti":
- "gh" as in "enough" is pronounced as /f/
- "o" as in "women" is pronounced as /ɪ/
- "ti" as in "nation" is pronounced as /ʃ/
When you put these together, you get /fɪʃ/, which phonetically spells "fish." So, "ghoti" is a playful representation of the word "fish" using unconventional and contradictory spelling rules found in English.

Ghoti is a made-up term that some claim is another way to spell fish.
