Common mistakes of cognizant pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Some learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "co-GNIZ-ant" [kəˈnɪz.ənt]. Tip: Remember to stress the first syllable: "COG-nizant" [ˈkɒɡ.nɪ.zənt] in UK and [ˈkɑɡ.nɪ.zənt] in US.
- Vowel sound confusion: A common mistake is mispronouncing the first vowel, saying "cog-NIZ-ant" with an "o" sound. Tip: Use the short "o" sound as in "cot" [kɒt] for UK and "caught" [kɔt] for US.
- Incorrect vowel length: Some might pronounce the second syllable as "nize" with a long "i" sound. Tip: Use a short "i" sound, as in "sit" [sɪt], to maintain the correct pronunciation.
- Omitting the final "t": Learners sometimes drop the final "t," saying "cognizant" as "cognizan." Tip: Ensure to pronounce the final "t" clearly to avoid losing the word's meaning.
- Mispronouncing the "g": Some may pronounce "cognizant" with a hard "g" as in "go." Tip: Use the soft "g" sound, like in "genius" [ˈdʒiː.ni.əs], to pronounce "cognizant" correctly.
