Spelling & Dictionary Insight

The German entry for manželství is 10 letters long, classified as a noun, and transcribed in the International Phonetic Alphabet as [ˈmanʒɛlstviː]. It sits outside the most-frequent rank tiers, which is often why uncommon words generate more spelling variants per reader. The dominant gloss from Wiktionary reads: "gesetzlich oder kirchlich anerkannte und durchgeführte Verbindung von Mann und Frau; Ehe".

No misspelling variants are generated for manželství in our index, suggesting the orthography follows predictable German patterns. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which tends to mean the word is visually distinctive enough to stand on its own.

No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. For readers arriving here from a spelling check, the authoritative guidance is: the correct German form is manželství, spelled M-A-N-Ž-E-L-S-T-V-Í, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
