The spelling of the word "pinki" can be quite confusing for non-native speakers of English. The correct pronunciation of this word is /pɪŋki/. The first sound, /p/, is a voiceless bilabial plosive, followed by the vowel /ɪ/, which is the short "i" sound. The third sound is /ŋ/, a voiced velar nasal, and then the final sound is /ki/, with a voiceless velar plosive and the long "e" vowel sound. Remembering the sounds of each phoneme can help with the spelling of "pinki."
