How it is spelled and how it sounds
The digraph 'ui' represents the Dutch diphthong /œy/, and final 'g' in the stem 'overtuig' devoiced to /x/, making '-gt' in 'overtuigt' sound like /xt/.
getuigento testifybuigento bend / bowjuichento cheer
In connected speech
In 'hij overtuigt me' (he convinces me), the /xt/ cluster at the end of 'overtuigt' is often simplified by dropping the /t/ in fast speech, sounding like [oːvərˈtœyx mə].
