Choose is a verb meaning to select something or someone from a range of options, or to decide on a course of action. Although often used in everyday speech, its pronunciation features a clear initial /tʃ/ sound and a long vowel in some forms; in most contexts it functions as the present tense form (you choose) and the imperative (choose wisely). It can also appear as a noun in phrases like “a difficult choose,” though this is less common in standard usage.
