Common mistakes of concupiscence pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Some learners incorrectly stress the third syllable, saying "dein-o-ˈny-chus". The correct stress is on the second syllable: UK /daɪˈnɒnɪkəs/, US /daɪˈnɑːnɪkəs/. Tip: Emphasize the "non" part.
- Incorrect vowel sounds: The first syllable "Dei" is often pronounced "dee" (/diː/) instead of "dai" (/daɪ/). Tip: Use the /aɪ/ sound, like in "my" or "dinosaur".
- Omitting syllables: Some shorten it to "dein-ny-chus", dropping the "o". Tip: Say all four syllables clearly: /daɪˈnɒnɪkəs/ (UK) or /daɪˈnɑːnɪkəs/ (US).
- Mispronouncing the "ch": Many pronounce "ch" as /tʃ/ like in "chocolate". Tip: In "Deinonychus", "ch" is pronounced /k/.
- Confusing with similar words: Some mix it up with "dinosaur" or "dromaeosaur". Tip: Remember that "Deinonychus" is a specific dinosaur species, pronounced /daɪˈnɒnɪkəs/ (UK) or /daɪˈnɑːnɪkəs/ (US).
