IPA: [zloɪ̯]

(Comment for anyone who might be interested:
The reason is that our adjectives have endings in all forms, which add one or two extra syllables. For an adjective to be monosyllabic, several conditions have to apply: the root noun is monosyllabic and ends on a vowel; the adjectival ending is attached directly to the noun (no suffixes); the ending vowel of the root conflates with the starting vowel of the ending. This is the only adjective that happens to meet them. :>)
