How Do You Spell FEE?

Pronunciation: [fˈiː] (IPA)

The word "fee" is spelled with two sounds - /fiː/. The first sound, /f/, is a voiceless labiodental fricative which is produced by placing the top teeth on the bottom lip and blowing air through. The second sound, /iː/, is a long vowel sound that is produced by placing the tongue near the roof of the mouth and pushing air out. Together, these sounds make up the spelling of "fee", which means a payment for services rendered.
