The word "Turio" is spelled with the IPA phonetic transcription /tʊərɪəʊ/. This means that the word is pronounced with a "t" sound, followed by the "u" sound as in "book," then the "r" sound, followed by the "i" sound as in "bit," then the "o" sound as in "go." This spelling reflects the English language's complex and varied pronunciation rules, and demonstrates the importance of paying attention to phonetics when learning a new word.
