Common mistakes of buspirone pronunciation

  1. Misplacing stress: Some learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "bus-PIR-one" instead of the correct "BUS-pir-one". Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the first syllable, marked as ˈbʌs.pɪˌroʊn in US and ˈbʌs.pɪ.rəʊn in UK.
  2. Incorrect vowel sounds: A common mistake is pronouncing the "u" as "oo" or "uh", resulting in "boos-pir-one" or "buhs-pir-one". Tip: The "u" in "buspirone" is pronounced as the short "u" sound /ʌ/, similar to "bus".
  3. Overemphasizing the "r": Some may pronounce it as "buspir-ONE" with a heavy emphasis on the final syllable. Tip: The final syllable should be lighter and unstressed, pronounced as /roʊn/ in US and /rəʊn/ in UK.
  4. Omitting the "s": A frequent error is dropping the "s" sound, leading to "bupirone". Tip: Ensure you clearly pronounce the "s" in "buspirone" to maintain its distinct sound, as in /bʌs.pɪ.roʊn/ or /bʌs.pɪ.rəʊn/.
  5. Confusing syllable count: Some learners mistakenly treat "buspirone" as a three-syllable word, saying "bus-pir-one". Tip: Count the syllables carefully; "buspirone" has four syllables: /bʌs.pɪ.roʊn/ in US and /bʌs.pɪ.rəʊn/ in UK.
