The spelling of the word "Denize" can be a bit confusing, but can be explained through the IPA phonetic transcription. The first syllable is pronounced like "den" but with a soft "e" sound at the end, indicated by the symbol /ə/. The second syllable is pronounced like the word "ease", with the long "e" sound indicated by the symbol /iː/. So, the correct spelling of this word would be "Denise", with an "s" rather than a "z".
