Common mistakes of carabiner pronunciation
- Stress placement error: Some learners stress the first syllable, saying "CARA-biner" /ˈkær.ə.bɪn.ər/ or /ˈker.ə.bɪn.ɚ/, but the correct stress is on the "bi" syllable: UK /ˌkær.əˈbiː.nər/, US /ˌker.əˈbiː.nɚ/. Tip: Emphasize "-BEE-" when pronouncing the word.
- Vowel sound confusion: The first syllable is sometimes mispronounced with the wrong vowel. Tip: Use the short "a" /æ/ as in "cat" for "ca-" (/ˈkær-/).
- Incorrect "i" pronunciation: Some learners say the "i" as a short /ɪ/, like in "bit." The correct sound is a long /iː/ as in "see" (/siː/). Tip: Stretch the "i" to sound like "ee" in "beet."
- Final "er" mispronunciation: The ending is sometimes exaggerated as /ɛər/, but it should be reduced: UK /-nər/, US /-nɚ/. Tip: Keep the ending soft and relaxed, like the "er" in "dinner."
- Syllable omission: Some speakers drop a syllable, saying "carbiner" instead of "carabiner." Tip: Practice saying all four syllables clearly: "car-a-bi-ner."
