The spelling of the word "Sheli" is often confused due to its Hebrew origin. In IPA phonetic transcription, it is pronounced as /ʃɛli/. The first sound is a voiceless postalveolar fricative, similar to the "sh" in "share." The second sound is an open-mid vowel, similar to the "e" in "pet." The third sound is a voiced alveolar lateral approximant, similar to the "l" in "like." Finally, the last sound is an unvoiced glottal fricative, which is a breathy sound produced by the throat.
The word "Sheli" has Hebrew origins and is derived from the Hebrew word "שלי" pronounced as "sheh-lee". In Hebrew, "שלי" translates to "mine" or "my". It is a possessive pronoun that refers to something belonging to oneself.
