Common mistakes of cleanliness pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Some learners stress the second syllable instead of the first, saying "clea-'nliness" instead of "'clean-liness". Tip: Remember to emphasize the first syllable for correct pronunciation: /ˈklɛn.lɪ.nəs/ (US), /ˈkliːn.lɪ.nəs/ (UK).
- Omitting the vowel sound: A common mistake is to skip the vowel sound in the second syllable, resulting in "cleanlnis". Tip: Ensure you pronounce each syllable clearly, including the "lɪ" sound in "cleanliness".
- Confusing vowel sounds: Some may pronounce "cleanliness" with a short "e" sound, saying "clenliness". Tip: Focus on the long "ee" sound in the first syllable: /ˈklɛn.lɪ.nəs/ (US), /ˈkliːn.lɪ.nəs/ (UK).
- Adding an extra syllable: Learners sometimes say "clean-liness" with an unnecessary pause, making it sound like three syllables. Tip: Keep it fluid as two syllables: /ˈklɛn.lɪ.nəs/ (US), /ˈkliːn.lɪ.nəs/ (UK).
- Mispronouncing the final "s": Some may say "cleanliness" with a hard "s" sound, resulting in "cleanlinesss". Tip: The final sound should be a soft "s", as in /ˈklɛn.lɪ.nəs/ (US), /ˈkliːn.lɪ.nəs/ (UK).
