The spelling of the word "MEIMA" may seem unusual, but it can be explained with IPA phonetic transcription. The first two letters, "ME," are pronounced as [mi], and the following "I" is pronounced as [ai]. The final two letters, "MA," are pronounced as [mə]. Therefore, the correct pronunciation of "MEIMA" is [mi-ai-mə]. While the spelling may not be conventional, the phonetic transcription breaks it down into understandable sounds.
