The transcription /klɑːsɪz/ represents the pronunciation of "classes" in British English, where:
·
/klɑː/: The "a" is a long vowel sound.
·
/sɪz/: The plural "-es" is pronounced with a voiced /z/ sound preceded by a short "i."
The phonetic structure adheres to the rules of vowel length and voiced consonants in British English.
