How Do You Spell CIRESI?

Pronunciation: [sˈa͡ɪ͡əsi] (IPA)

The spelling of the word "ciresi" is unique to the Romanian language. In IPA phonetic transcription, it is pronounced as [t͡ʃi.ˈreʃʲ]. The first sound is a voiceless postalveolar affricate, similar to "ch" in English. The second sound is a palatalized retroflex sibilant, which doesn't have an exact equivalent in English. The final sound is another palatalized sibilant. The combination of these sounds produces the distinctive pronunciation of "ciresi," which refers to sour cherries in Romanian cuisine.
