In IPA phonetic transcription, "Mister" is spelled /ˈmɪstər/ and "Emmes" is pronounced /ˈɛməz/. The shorthand "mr" is commonly used for "Mister", while "mmes" represents the sounds in "Emmes". While non-standard spelling may cause confusion, phonetic transcriptions can help clarify pronunciation and aid in language learning.
