The Hungarian word "Szemend" is spelled with seven letters, but its pronunciation can be quite tricky for non-native speakers. It is pronounced as [ˈsɛmɛnd], with the stress on the first syllable. The "s" and "z" sounds are pronounced separately, with the "e" and "m" sounds following each other seamlessly. The final "d" is also pronounced, but very lightly, almost as if it were a soft "t". This small town in Hungary has a spelling that is unique and distinct, just like its pronunciation.
