How Do You Spell REPAIRS?

Pronunciation: [ɹɪpˈe͡əz] (IPA)

The spelling of the word "repairs" is influenced by the pronunciation of the vowel sound in the second syllable. The IPA phonetic transcription of this word is /rəˈpɛrz/. The schwa sound /ə/ appears in the first syllable, which is common in unstressed syllables in English. The second syllable has a short "e" sound /ɛ/ followed by the consonant cluster "p-r-s."
