The word INTS is spelled using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) as /ɪnts/. This four-letter word may seem simple, but its pronunciation can be deceptive to non-native English speakers. The sound of the initial "I" is like the "i" in "sit" or "bit." The "n" is pronounced as a regular "n" sound, followed by a "t" consonant pronounced with the tip of the tongue on the front of the palate. Then, the final "s" is pronounced with a hissing and unvoiced "s" sound.
