Common mistakes of antioxidant pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Many people incorrectly stress the first syllable, saying "ANTioxidant." The correct pronunciation is "ˌæn.tiˈɑɪ.kɪ.dənt" in US English and "ˌæn.tɪˈɒɪ.kɪ.dənt" in UK English. Tip: Focus on stressing the third syllable for clarity.
- Omitting syllables: Some may say "anti-oxidant," dropping the "o" in the second syllable. This leads to "ˈæn.tɪˌɒks.ɪ.dənt," which is incorrect. Tip: Ensure you pronounce all syllables clearly, especially the "o."
- Confusing vowel sounds: The "i" in the third syllable is often mispronounced. Saying "ˌæn.tiˈɒks.ɪ.dənt" instead of "ˌæn.tiˈɑɪ.kɪ.dənt" alters the meaning. Tip: Practice the "ɑɪ" sound to distinguish it from "ɒ."
- Incorrect final consonant: Some speakers might pronounce the last syllable as "dant" instead of "dənt," leading to "ˌæn.tiˈɑɪ.kɪ.dant." Tip: Pay attention to the "dənt" ending to maintain the correct pronunciation.
- Speeding through syllables: Rapid speech can cause slurring of syllables, making "antioxidant" sound unclear. Tip: Slow down and articulate each part: "ˌæn.tiˈɑɪ.kɪ.dənt" for US and "ˌæn.tɪˈɒɪ.kɪ.dənt" for UK.
