The letters que make the /k/ sound at the end of many English words, especially ones borrowed from French. You can see this in words like unique, antique, and boutique. It might look like a long ending, but it sounds just like /k/.
Even the word cheque, which is spelled differently in British English than in the US (check), follows the same pattern. Other examples include plaque and picturesque, where the /k/ sound is softer.
So, when you hear the /k/ sound at the end of a word that seems to have a French origin, it’s likely to end with que!
