The word "mandl," which means "almond" in German, is spelled with the letters M-A-N-D-L. In IPA phonetic transcription, it is represented as /mændl/. The "a" sound is pronounced as the short vowel sound /æ/, while the "d" and "l" sounds are pronounced as the consonants /d/ and /l/ respectively. The "n" sound is an unvoiced nasal consonant /n/, which is pronounced by only allowing air to flow through the nose.
The word mandl originates from the German language. It is a diminutive form of the German word Mann, which means man or male. The suffix -dl is used in some German dialects to create a diminutive form of a word, similar to little or small in English. Therefore, Mandl can be translated as little man or little guy.
