How Do You Spell PORCELLI?

Pronunciation: [pɔːt͡ʃˈɛlɪ] (IPA)

The spelling of the word "porcelli" can be confusing for English speakers who are not familiar with Italian phonetics. In IPA phonetic transcription, the word is pronounced as /pɔrˈtʃɛli/. The "c" in Italian is always pronounced as "ch," making the final sound in "porcelli" sound like the "ch" in "chick." Also, the double "l" in Italian is pronounced as a long "l" sound, which sounds like an "l" with a slight "y" sound at the end. So, "porcelli" is spelled with two "l's" to show this elongated sound.
