The word "are scene" is spelled using the IPA phonetic transcription as /ɑː ˈsiːn/. The "a" in "are" is pronounced as a long "a" sound, while "scene" has a long "e" sound in the middle. The r-controlled vowel "r" is also present in "are", which changes the sound of the "a" to be slightly more nasal. This word, when spoken correctly, should sound like "ah-r seen". It refers to a situation or event that is happening or has happened in a particular place.
