Common mistakes of antigone pronunciation
- Stress placement error: Many people incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "an-TIG-o-nee" /ænˈtɪɡəni/ (US) or /ænˈtɪɡəni/ (UK). Tip: Remember to stress the first syllable: "AN-ti-gone" /ˈæn.tɪ.ɡə.ni/.
- Vowel confusion: Some mispronounce "antigone" by using a long "o" sound, pronouncing it as "an-ti-GO-nee." Tip: The correct pronunciation uses a short "o" sound, as in "gone."
- Syllable omission: A common mistake is to say "an-ti-gon" instead of "antigone." Tip: Ensure you pronounce all four syllables clearly: "AN-ti-go-nee" /ˈæn.tɪ.ɡə.ni/.
- Final "e" mispronunciation: Some speakers drop the final "e," saying "antigon" instead of "antigone." Tip: Always include the final "e" sound to maintain the integrity of the word: "AN-ti-gone."
- Consonant blending: People often blend the "g" and "o" sounds, resulting in "an-ti-gone" with a hard "g." Tip: Pronounce the "g" clearly and distinctly, ensuring it flows into the following "o" sound smoothly.
