Common mistakes of chassis pronunciation

  1. Misplacing the stress: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, pronouncing it as "cha-SEE". The correct stress is on the first syllable: /ˈʃæsi/ (US) and /ˈʃæsi/ (UK). Tip: Focus on saying "CHAS-sis" with the emphasis on "CHAS".
  2. Incorrect vowel sound: Some may pronounce "chassis" with a long "a" sound, saying "chah-sis". The correct pronunciation features a short "a": /ˈʃæsi/. Tip: Practice saying "chass" as in "class" to get the right vowel.
  3. Overemphasizing the "s": Learners sometimes add an extra "s" sound, pronouncing it as "chass-iss". The correct pronunciation has only one "s" sound: /ˈʃæsi/. Tip: Remember that "chassis" ends with a single "s" sound.
  4. Ignoring the "ch" sound: Some may pronounce "chassis" starting with a "k" sound, saying "kassi". The correct pronunciation starts with the "ch" sound: /ˈʃæsi/. Tip: Think of "ch" as in "chocolate" to guide your pronunciation.
  5. Confusing with similar words: Learners might mix "chassis" with words like "chase". The correct pronunciation is distinct: /ˈʃæsi/. Tip: Practice saying "chassis" in sentences to differentiate it from similar-sounding words.
