Common mistakes of abomination pronunciation
- Stress on the wrong syllable: Many people place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "a-bo-MI-nation" instead of the correct "a-bo-mi-ˈNEI-ʃən". Tip: Remember to stress the fourth syllable to sound natural.
- Mispronouncing "a": Some learners pronounce the initial "a" as "ay" instead of the correct "ə" sound, leading to "ay-bo-mi-nation". Tip: Use a relaxed "uh" sound for the first syllable.
- Ignoring the "n" sound: A common mistake is dropping the "n" in the third syllable, resulting in "a-bo-mi-ˈA-tion". The correct pronunciation includes the "n": "a-bo-mi-ˈNEI-ʃən". Tip: Practice saying "n" clearly to maintain the syllable structure.
- Confusing vowel sounds: Mispronouncing the "i" in the third syllable can lead to "a-bo-MI-nation" instead of "a-bo-mi-ˈNEI-ʃən". Tip: Focus on the long "i" sound as in "eye" to get it right.
- Overemphasizing the final "tion": Some may overly stress the ending "tion", making it sound like "a-bo-mi-na-ˈSHUN". The correct pronunciation keeps it softer: "a-bo-mi-ˈNEI-ʃən". Tip: Keep the ending light and quick to avoid overemphasis.
