Common mistakes of aged pronunciation
- Misplacing the vowel sound: Some learners say "aged" as /eɪdʒd/, which is incorrect. The correct pronunciation is /ˈeɪdʒɪd/ in US English and /ˈeɪdʒɪd/ in UK English. Tip: Focus on the "i" sound in the second syllable.
- Ignoring the stress: Many people pronounce "aged" with equal stress on both syllables, resulting in /ˌeɪdʒˈɛd/. The correct stress is on the first syllable: /ˈeɪdʒɪd/. Tip: Emphasize the first syllable to sound natural.
- Overemphasizing the "g": Some learners pronounce the "g" too strongly, saying "aged" as /ˈeɪɡd/. The "g" should be soft, leading to /ˈeɪdʒɪd/. Tip: Practice saying "age" smoothly before adding the "d."
- Confusing with "age": People sometimes confuse "aged" with "age," pronouncing it as /eɪdʒ/. Remember, "aged" has an extra syllable, pronounced as /ˈeɪdʒɪd/. Tip: Break it down into two parts: "age" + "id."
- Neglecting the ending sound: Some learners drop the "d" sound, resulting in /ˈeɪdʒɪ/. The full pronunciation is /ˈeɪdʒɪd/. Tip: Make sure to articulate the "d" at the end to complete the word.
