What’s the difference between ‘sofa’ and ‘so far’

So far so good

When pronouncing ‘sofa’ the emphasis is on the first syllable, and then end with a subtle ‘uh’ sound

sofa ˈsəʊ.fə [SOH-fuh]

With ‘so far’ you accent the second syllable so-FAH (extend the final syllable) ‘FARRR’

so far səʊ fɑːr [soh] [FAH]
