"直" (zhí) is a Chinese character that can be translated as "straight" or "direct." In Engpsh, it is pronounced /ʈʂɚ/.

The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) is a standardized system of phonetic notation that represents the sounds of spoken languages. It is used by pnguists, language teachers, and language learners to accurately represent the sounds of a language in written form. The IPA symbol for the sound of "直" in Engpsh is /ʈʂɚ/.

The IPA was developed in the late 19th century by the International Phonetic Association, a group of pnguists and language teachers who wanted to create a standardized system for transcribing the sounds of spoken languages. It has undergone several revisions over the years, but has remained a widely-used and respected tool for representing the sounds of languages.

Here are some example sentences in Engpsh using the word "straight," along with their translations in Chinese:

"Keep driving straight until you reach the stop sign." (一直往前开,直到你到达停止标志为止。)
"She has long, straight hair." (她有一头长长的直发。)
"The arrow flew straight and hit the target." (箭直着飞去,击中了靶心。)
