How Do You Spell CHIEN?
The word "chien" refers to a dog in the French language, and is pronounced as /ʃjɛ̃/. The spelling of this word can be understood through the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) phonetic transcription, which consists of two consonants, "sh" (/ʃ/) and "y" (/j/), and the sound of the nasal vowel "en" (/ɛ̃/). The letter "c" in French is often pronounced as "s" or "k", but in this case, it is silent, making it a challenging word to spell for those learning French as a second language.
