Letisia is a name that might confuse people when it comes to spelling. IPA transcription can help illustrate why. The first syllable is pronounced "leh," with a short e sound (/ɛ/), followed by "tee" with a long E sound (/i/). The last syllable is pronounced "see," with a short E (/ɛ/) sound. Therefore, the correct spelling would be "Letisia," with an "s" instead of a "z" in the final syllable. Phonetic transcriptions can be essential tools for understanding how to spell unfamiliar words or names.
