Common mistakes of adjudication pronunciation

  1. Misplacing the stress: Many people stress the wrong syllable in "adjudication", saying /əˌdʒuːdɪˈkeɪʃən/ instead of the correct /əˌdʒuːdɪˈkeɪʃən/ (US) and /əˌdʒuːdɪˈkeɪʃən/ (UK). Tip: Focus on stressing the third syllable, "cate".
  2. Overemphasizing the "h": Some pronounce "adjudication" with an exaggerated "h" sound, leading to confusion. The correct pronunciation is /əˌdʒuːdɪˈkeɪʃən/ (US) and /əˌdʒuːdɪˈkeɪʃən/ (UK) without a strong "h". Tip: Keep the "h" subtle or silent.
  3. Ignoring the schwa: People often neglect the schwa sound in the first syllable, pronouncing it as "ah" instead of /ə/. The correct pronunciation is /əˌdʒuːdɪˈkeɪʃən/. Tip: Remember that the schwa is a quick, relaxed sound.
  4. Mispronouncing the "c" as "k": Some pronounce the "c" in "adjudication" as a hard "k" sound, saying /əˌdʒuːdɪˈkeɪʃən/ instead of /əˌdʒuːdɪˈkeɪʃən/. Tip: Ensure the "c" sounds like "s" in this context.
  5. Skipping the final syllable: A common mistake is omitting the final syllable, saying "adjudic" instead of "adjudication". The full pronunciation is /əˌdʒuːdɪˈkeɪʃən/. Tip: Always pronounce every syllable clearly for accuracy.
