## Step 1<br />The problem is about the use of the letters 'g' and 'j' in the Spanish language. The letter 'g' can have two different sounds:<br />1. When 'g' is followed by 'a', 'o', or 'u', it is pronounced as 'g' and is sonorous. For example, in the words 'galgo', 'goma', 'gusto', the 'g' is pronounced as 'g'.<br />2. When 'g' is followed by 'e' or 'i', it is pronounced as 'j' and is voiceless. For example, in the words 'jengibre', 'gente', the 'g' is pronounced as 'j'.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />To avoid confusion between 'g' and 'j', a 'u' is added after 'g' when it is not pronounced as 'j'. For example, in the words 'guerra', 'guiso', the 'g' is pronounced as 'g' and not 'j'.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />The letter 'j' always represents a voiceless sound. For example, in the words 'Jaime', 'jefe', 'jirafa', 'joven', 'juez', the 'j' is pronounced as 'j'.<br /><br />## Step 4<br />The problem asks to add 'u' after 'g' in the given words to avoid confusion between 'g' and 'j'. The words are: 'General', 'gitano', 'ejemplo', 'jícama', 'ligero', 'egión', 'extranjero', 'dijimos', 'origen', 'dirigir', 'viajero', 'jinete'.
