How Do You Spell MEDITATE?

The "t" sound comes after the vowel sound "e" in the word, which is known as an alveolar articulation. Therefore, the IPA phonetic transcription for "meditate" is /ˈmɛdɪteɪt/, where the "t" sound is represented by the symbol /t/. Proper spelling is important in order to convey accurate pronunciation and meaning in written communication.
