The spelling of the word "torti" can be explained using IPA phonetic transcription. The word is pronounced /tɔːti/. The "t" sounds like the "t" in "time" and "ten," while the "o" sounds like the "aw" sound in "law." The "r" sound is a rolled "r" like in Spanish, and the "ti" sounds like "tee." This spelling accurately reflects the pronunciation of the word, which is a plural form of "torta," a type of Italian cake.
