The word "Hissem" is spelled using the following IPA phonetic transcription: /hɪsəm/. The first sound, /h/, is made by exhaling air through the open mouth while the vocal cords are not vibrating. The second sound, /ɪ/, sounds like "ih" and is made by placing the tongue close to the roof of the mouth. The third sound, /s/, is produced by forcing air through a narrow gap between the tongue and the alveolar ridge. Finally, the last sound, /əm/, is pronounced as "uhm" with the nasal sound produced by closing the lips and allowing air to flow through the nose.
