Pronunciation of final sound -ge [closed]

Question

Can we ignore the final sound -ge as speaking the following sentence? "Having true consciousness can change someone's life."

Answer 1

No, you cannot ignore that sound. The -ge is not a separate syllable. Instead, it adds a "dj" sound to the end of the word. If you leave off the "dj" sound, then you have the sound of "chain", which is a different word, and that makes the sentence not make sense.
