Common mistakes of arbitrage pronunciation
- Incorrect stress placement: Some learners place stress on the second syllable, saying "ar-bi-ˈtrahj." This is incorrect. In both US and UK pronunciations, stress is on the first syllable: "ˈɑr.bɪ.trɑːʒ." Tip: Focus on emphasizing the "ar" to get it right.
- Mispronouncing the ending: Many pronounce "arbitrage" with a hard "g," saying "ar-bi-tra-ˈg." The correct pronunciation ends with a soft "zh" sound: "ˈɑr.bɪ.trɑːʒ." Tip: Practice saying "measure" to familiarize yourself with the "zh" sound.
- Overemphasizing vowels: Some speakers elongate the vowels, saying "ar-bi-tra-ge." In reality, the vowels are shorter and more clipped. The correct pronunciation is "ˈɑr.bɪ.trɑːʒ." Tip: Keep your vowels concise for a more accurate pronunciation.
- Neglecting the "t" sound: A common mistake is to skip the "t" in the middle, saying "ar-bi-ra-zh." The "t" is essential in the correct pronunciation: "ˈɑr.bɪ.trɑːʒ." Tip: Make sure to clearly articulate the "t" to maintain clarity.
- Confusing with similar words: Some mix up "arbitrage" with "arbitration" or "arbitrary," leading to mispronunciation. "Arbitrage" is pronounced "ˈɑr.bɪ.trɑːʒ," while the others differ. Tip: Familiarize yourself with each word's unique pronunciation to avoid confusion.
