The spelling of the word "Stanten" may seem confusing at first, but it can be easily explained using IPA phonetic transcription. The word is pronounced /stæntən/ with stress on the second syllable. The final "en" in the spelling is actually a silent letter, and the "a" in the first syllable is pronounced like the "a" in "cat." Therefore, the correct pronunciation is "STAN-tən." Remembering the stress and silent letter can help in proper spelling and pronunciation of this word.
