Common mistakes of condominium pronunciation

Stress misplacement: Many people incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "con-do-MIN-i-um" [ˌkɒn.dəˈmɪn.i.əm] (UK) instead of the correct stress on the third syllable. Tip: Remember to emphasize the "MIN" in "condominium".
Vowel confusion: Some learners pronounce the "o" in "condominium" as a long vowel, saying "con-do-MI-nium" [ˌkɑːn.dəˈmɪn.i.əm] (US). Tip: The "o" should be a short sound, like in "con".
Missing syllables: A common mistake is to drop the "do" in "condominium", resulting in "con-MIN-ium" [ˌkɒn.dəˈmɪn.i.əm] (UK). Tip: Ensure you pronounce all syllables clearly to avoid confusion.
Incorrect vowel sounds: Some may pronounce the "i" in "condominium" as a long "ee" sound, saying "con-dom-in-EE-um". Tip: The "i" should sound like the "i" in "sit", not "see".
Ending sound errors: People sometimes mispronounce the ending, saying "condominium" with an "uhm" sound instead of the correct "yum". Tip: Focus on the "yum" to finish the word accurately.
