Common mistakes of delusional pronunciation
- Stress placement: Some may incorrectly place stress on the second syllable, pronouncing it as "de-ˈlu-sional." Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the third syllable: "delu-ˈsional."
- Vowel sounds: Mispronouncing the "e" in "delusional" as a long "ee" sound can lead to confusion. Tip: The "e" should be pronounced as a short "ih" sound, as in "dih-lu-ˈzhuh-nuhl."
- Syllable omission: Some speakers might drop the "u" sound, saying "del-ˈsional." Tip: Ensure you pronounce all syllables clearly: "de-ˈlu-sion-al."
- Incorrect vowel length: Saying "delu-ˈsional" with a long "u" can sound unnatural. Tip: Use a short "u" sound, as in "delu-ˈzhuh-nuhl," to maintain proper pronunciation.
- Final syllable confusion: Some might pronounce the last syllable as "nal" instead of "nuhl." Tip: The correct pronunciation ends with a schwa sound, making it "delu-ˈzhuh-nuhl."
