The spelling of the word "sticking nothing" can be confusing for non-native English speakers. The correct pronunciation is /ˈstɪkɪŋ ˈnʌθɪŋ/. The first syllable is pronounced as "sticking" with the vowel sound "ih" and the "ng" sound at the end. The second syllable is "noth" with the "uh" sound and the "th" sound, and the final syllable is pronounced with the short "i" sound and stress on the "ng" sound. Despite its challenging spelling, "sticking nothing" simply means not able to move or being stuck in one place.
