    Phonetically means the way it sounds which would be “fonetik”

      This is not correct. English is simply not phonetic and therefore it’s impossible to spell any English word phonetically.

        That’s transposing it how we sound to them, though!

        If the above were pronounced in a baseline kiwi accent the U would just get deeper. The vowel shift goes the other way if I’m to recreate their pronunciation using my own accent:

        Fehr ned ik (US)

        Foe net eck (UK)
