The word "fletz" is a Yiddish term that refers to someone who is easily upset or flustered. Its spelling can be traced to the Hebrew alphabet, where the dot on top of the letter "tsadi" distinguishes it from the letter "tzaddi." In IPA phonetic transcription, "fletz" is pronounced as /flɛts/, with the "ts" sound representing the Hebrew letter "tsadi." As Yiddish continues to gain recognition as a language with a rich cultural history, it is important to understand the nuances of its spelling and pronunciation.
