I'd rater write it [ɪdʲɪ 'ot]Originally Posted by alexB
there is no tense i's.
But what if transcription system they do understand are weird and/or incapable of conducting sounds of Russian because it was not designed for it?Most likely not. It is a fact that a lot of English speakers do not understand IPA-based transcrition systems.
( weird e.g. "ä like o in 'pot' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronunciat ... or_English . It's simple - a with dots as o, right ? )
