Pennsylvania

/ˌpɛn.səlˈveɪ.ni.ə/

nounPenn · syl · va · ni · a

Think: **PENN** (like a pen) + **SYL** (sounds like “sill”) + **VAY** (sounds like “vacay” without the ‘c’) + **NEE** + **UH** → Penn-syl-vay-nee-uh.

Yes, it's Pennsylvania. Don’t forget the **-syl-** in the middle and the ending **-nia** (not **-na**).
