The spelling of the word "srnicek" can be deceiving to many people. It might seem like a jumbled mess of letters that don't fit together, but the truth is that it's actually quite straightforward. The 's' is pronounced like the 's' in "sit," while the 'r' and 'n' are pronounced together as one sound, like the 'rn' in "barn." Finally, the 'i' is pronounced as the vowel sound in "kit," followed by the 'e' sound as in "met." So, the phonetic transcription of "srnicek" is /ˈsərnɪk/.
