How Do You Spell ATRAI?

Pronunciation: [ˈatɹa͡ɪ] (IPA)

The word "atrai" is an interesting example of how English spelling can be confusing. It is spelled with an "ai" at the end, even though the sound represented by this combination in IPA is /eɪ/. This might lead one to believe that the word should be pronounced with a long "a" sound, but it is in fact pronounced with a short "a" sound, as in "cat". The reason for this unusual spelling is likely due to its origin in a different language, as English borrows many words from other languages and often adapts their spelling to fit English conventions.
