Common mistakes of daiquiri pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Many say "daiquiri" with stress on the second syllable, as in /ˈdaɪ.kə.ri/. Tip: Remember to stress the first syllable, pronounced /ˈdaɪ.kə.ri/ in both US and UK English.
- Incorrect vowel sounds: Some pronounce the "ai" in "daiquiri" as "ay," leading to /deɪ.kə.ri/. Tip: The "ai" should sound like the vowel in "my," resulting in /ˈdaɪ.kə.ri/.
- Overemphasizing the "q": A common mistake is to pronounce the "q" as a hard "k," resulting in /ˈdaɪ.kwi.ri/. Tip: The "q" is soft, and should be pronounced as /k/, blending smoothly into the following syllable.
- Ignoring the "r": Some speakers tend to drop the "r," resulting in /ˈdaɪ.kə.i/. Tip: Ensure to pronounce the "r" clearly, as in /ˈdaɪ.kə.ri/, to maintain the correct sound.
- Mispronouncing the final "i": A few may say "daiquiri" with a long "i," making it sound like /ˈdaɪ.kə.ree/. Tip: The final "i" should be a short sound, pronounced as /ˈdaɪ.kə.ri/.
