Common mistakes of density pronunciation
- Incorrect vowel sound: Some learners pronounce "density" with a short "e" as in "bed" instead of the correct "e" as in "met" (ˈdɛn.sɪ.ti). Tip: Focus on the "e" sound being more open.
- Missing syllable stress: A common mistake is placing stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "den-SI-ty" instead of the correct "DEN-si-ty" (ˈdɛn.sɪ.ti). Tip: Emphasize the first syllable for proper pronunciation.
- Overemphasizing the final "y": Some speakers pronounce "density" with a strong "y" sound at the end, making it sound like "density-y." The correct pronunciation ends with a soft "i" (ˈdɛn.sɪ.ti). Tip: Keep the final "y" subtle.
- Confusing "t" and "d": Learners may pronounce "density" with a "d" sound, saying "den-sid-ty" instead of the correct "t" sound (ˈdɛn.sɪ.ti). Tip: Practice the "t" sound by placing your tongue against the roof of your mouth.
