Key Differences:

    • Bud (a small growth on a plant): /bʌd/, with a short "u" sound, as in "cup."

    • Buddy (a friend): /ˈbʌdi/, with the same "u" sound in "bud" followed by an unstressed "y" sound.

    • Body (a person’s or animal’s physical form): /ˈbɑdi/, with an "ah" sound, as in "car."

The primary difference lies in the vowel sounds: bud and buddy have the short "u" sound, while body has a longer "ah" sound.
