Common mistakes of biases pronunciation
- Incorrect stress placement: Some learners place stress on the second syllable, saying "bi-ˈas-iz". This is incorrect; the correct stress is on the first syllable: "ˈbaɪ-əs-ɪz". Tip: Remember to emphasize the first syllable for proper pronunciation.
- Mispronouncing the vowel sound: A common mistake is using the short "i" sound, pronouncing it as "ˈbɪ-əs-ɪz". The correct pronunciation uses the diphthong "aɪ", as in "ˈbaɪ-əs-ɪz". Tip: Focus on the "ai" sound, similar to "buy".
- Skipping the second syllable: Some may pronounce "biases" as "ˈbaɪs-ɪz", omitting the "ə" in the second syllable. This can lead to misunderstanding. Tip: Ensure you articulate each syllable clearly, including the unstressed "ə".
- Overemphasizing the final "s": Learners might incorrectly stress the last "s" sound, saying "ˈbaɪ-əs-iz". The correct pronunciation is softer: "ˈbaɪ-əs-ɪz". Tip: Keep the final "s" light to maintain the flow of the word.
- Confusing with "bias": Some confuse "biases" with the singular "bias", pronouncing it the same way. "Bias" is "ˈbaɪ-əs", while "biases" is "ˈbaɪ-əs-ɪz". Tip: Remember that "biases" has an extra syllable, which changes its pronunciation.
