Common mistakes of comprised pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Many learners incorrectly place stress on the second syllable, saying "com-ˈprised". The correct pronunciation is "ˈkəmˌpraɪzd" with primary stress on the first syllable. Tip: Remember that "comprised" starts strong with "com".
- Overpronouncing the "d": Some people pronounce the "d" at the end too strongly, making it sound like "comprised" with an exaggerated "d" sound. The correct pronunciation is smoother, as in "ˈkəmˌpraɪzd". Tip: Keep the ending soft and quick.
- Confusing with "comprise": Learners often mix up "comprised" with "comprise", saying "com-ˈprised". "Comprise" is a different form, pronounced "kəmˈpraɪz". Tip: Pay attention to the suffix; "comprised" indicates a completed action.
- Neglecting the vowel sound: Some may drop the schwa sound in the first syllable, pronouncing it as "ˈprized". The correct form is "ˈkəmˌpraɪzd", where the first syllable is pronounced as "kəm". Tip: Always include the soft "kəm" sound to avoid confusion.
- Incorrect vowel length: A common mistake is pronouncing the "i" in "comprised" too long, saying "com-ˈprized". The correct pronunciation is "ˈkəmˌpraɪzd", where the "i" is short and blends smoothly into the "z" sound. Tip: Shorten the "i" to maintain clarity.
