Robine is a rare name that is spelled phonetically as /roʊˈbaɪn/. This phonetic transcription consists of five symbols that represent the pronunciation of the word as heard by a native English speaker. The first symbol, /r/, represents the sound made with the tongue near the roof of the mouth. The following symbols, /oʊ/ and /aɪ/, denote the diphthong sound formed by the mouth position while pronouncing the word. The final symbol, /n/, indicates the nasal closure of the word. The spelling of Robine is peculiar, but its phonetic transcription helps explain how it should be said.
