Common mistakes of admirable pronunciation
- Stress misplacement: Many people incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "ad-MIR-able" instead of "AD-mir-able" (ˈæd.mə.rə.bəl). Tip: Remember that the primary stress falls on the first syllable.
- Vowel confusion: Some pronounce "admirable" with a long "i" sound, saying "ad-mi-ra-ble." The correct pronunciation has a schwa sound in the second syllable, making it "AD-mir-ə-bəl" (ˈæd.mɪr.ə.bəl). Tip: Focus on the unstressed vowel sound in the second syllable.
- Overemphasis on the final "ble": People may pronounce the "ble" as "buhl," leading to "admirabuhl." The correct form is "bəl" (ˈæd.mɪr.ə.bəl). Tip: Keep the final syllable light and quick.
- Omitting syllables: Some speakers may drop the second syllable entirely, saying "AD-mir-buhl." This alters the word's rhythm and clarity. Tip: Ensure you articulate all three syllables for correct pronunciation.
- Incorrect vowel sound in the first syllable: A common mistake is pronouncing the first syllable as "ad" with a short "a," leading to "ad-mir-able." The proper sound is a short "æ" as in "cat." Tip: Practice saying "ad" with a clear short "a" sound.
