The surname "Stehlik" is a Czech name that is pronounced as /ˈʃtɛh.lɪk/. The spelling of this word can be confusing for non-Czech speakers because the letter "h" is pronounced differently in Czech than in English. In Czech, the letter "h" is pronounced as a hard "h" sound, almost like a short "k" sound. This explains why "Stehlik" is spelled with an "h" instead of a "k". The correct pronunciation and spelling of this name is important to ensure accurate communication and understanding.
