How Do You Spell DOWNSTEEPY?
Pronunciation: [dˈa͡ʊnstiːpi] (IPA) 
"Downsteepy" is an uncommon word that refers to a steep or sharp downward slope. The spelling of this word can be confusing because it contains two double-letter pairs, "d-o-w-n-s-t-e-e-p-y". In IPA phonetic transcription, "downsteepy" can be written as /daʊnˈstiːpi/. The "ow" diphthong produces the "aʊ" sound, while the "ee" vowel cluster makes the long "i" sound. The final "y" at the end of the word functions as a suffix to indicate an adjective, which modifies the noun that it describes.
