Common mistakes of chardonnay pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Many people incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "char-DON-nay" /ˌʃɑr.dəˈneɪ/ (US) or /ˌʃɑː.dəˈneɪ/ (UK). Tip: Remember to stress the last syllable: "chardonnay".
- Ignoring the "r": Some pronounce "chardonnay" without the "r", saying "chad-nay" /ˈʃæd.neɪ/. Tip: Ensure you pronounce the "r" clearly to maintain the correct sound: "chardonnay".
- Overemphasizing the "n": A common mistake is to overly stress the "n" in "chardonnay", leading to "chardon-NAY" /ˌʃɑr.dəˈneɪ/. Tip: Keep the "n" subtle and focus on the final syllable for accurate pronunciation: "chardonnay".
- Incorrect vowel sounds: Some may pronounce the first syllable as "char" /ʧɑr/ instead of the correct "shar" /ʃɑr/. Tip: Use the "sh" sound to start: "chardonnay".
- Mispronouncing the "ay": People often say "chardonnay" with a flat "a" sound, like "chardon-AY" /ˈʃɑr.dən.eɪ/. Tip: The correct ending is a long "ay" sound, as in "day": "chardonnay".
