How Do You Spell PORTABL?

Pronunciation: [pˈɔːtabə͡l] (IPA)

The correct spelling of the word is "portable" /ˈpɔː.tə.bəl/. The IPA phonetic transcription breaks down the pronunciation into individual sounds: /p/ for the initial consonant sound, followed by the diphthong /ɔːr/ and the consonant sound /t/, then the vowel sound /ə/ and the consonant sound /b/ and /əl/ to finish the word. Spelling the word as "portabl" leaves out the final "e" and changes the pronunciation, making it incorrect. Always check the spelling and pronunciation of words before using them - accuracy is key!
