The spelling of the word "ciotti" may seem challenging, but it can be broken down using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) transcription. The beginning of the word is pronounced "tʃi," which sounds like "chee." The "o" is pronounced as "ɒ," like the "a" in "father." The letters "tt" indicate a double consonant sound, so it should be pronounced with a slightly longer emphasis. Finally, the last two letters "i" and "́" indicate a stressed "ee" sound, like in "me." Therefore, "ciotti" is pronounced "chee-ot-tee."
