The spelling of the word "Pattin" can be confusing to some. It is pronounced as /ˈpætən/ according to the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The "a" in the first syllable sounds like the "a" in "cat," and the "i" in the second syllable sounds like the "i" in "tin." The double "t" in the word signifies a short, clipped pronunciation of the "t" sound. Remembering the IPA transcription and the rules of English spelling can help you spell "Pattin" correctly.
