''Şehir'' is a Turkish word that means ''city'' in English. The pronunciation of this word can be a bit tricky for non-native speakers, especially because of the letter ''ş'' which does not exist in English.

The correct pronunciation of ''şehir'' is ''sheh-heer''. The first syllable ''sheh'' is pronounced like the English word ''she'' but with a slightly longer ''e'' sound. The second syllable ''heer'' is pronounced like the English word ''hair'' but with a shorter ''a'' sound.

It is important to note that the stress in the word ''şehir'' is on the second syllable. This means that you should put more emphasis on the syllable ''heer'' when pronouncing the word.
