How Do You Spell KARPINSKI?
Pronunciation: [kɑːpˈɪnskɪ] (IPA) 
The spelling of the name "Karpinski" can be explained with the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) transcription. The initial "K" sound is represented by /k/, followed by the vowel sound /ɑr/ which is a combination of the open back unrounded vowel /ɑ/ and the rhotic consonant /r/. The third and fourth sounds are identical, represented by the consonant /p/ and then the vowel sound /ɪ/ which is the near-close near-front unrounded vowel. The last two sounds are /n/ and /ski/, the latter of which is pronounced as /ski:/, with the colon denoting a lengthened sound.
