Common mistakes of agitated pronunciation
- Stress placement: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "ˈædʒ.ɪ.teɪ.tɪd". The correct stress is on the first syllable: "ˈædʒ.ɪ.teɪ.tɪd". Tip: Remember to emphasize the "ag" part.
- Vowel confusion: Some might pronounce "agitated" with a short "a" sound, like "ˈædʒ.ɪ.təd". The correct pronunciation has a clear "aɪ" sound in the second syllable. Tip: Practice saying "ag" and "it" distinctly.
- Final "d" sound: A common mistake is to soften the final "d," leading to "ˈædʒ.ɪ.teɪ.tɪ" instead of "ˈædʒ.ɪ.teɪ.tɪd". Tip: Ensure you pronounce the "d" clearly at the end.
- Syllable omission: Some people might say "ˈædʒ.ɪ.teɪ" and drop the last syllable. The full form is "ˈædʒ.ɪ.teɪ.tɪd". Tip: Always include all syllables when pronouncing the word.
- Overemphasis on "i": Learners sometimes overemphasize the "i" in the second syllable, making it sound like "ˈædʒ.ɪˌteɪ.tɪd". The correct pronunciation is more balanced: "ˈædʒ.ɪ.teɪ.tɪd". Tip: Focus on a smooth transition between syllables.
