Common mistakes of ecosystem pronunciation
- Incorrect stress placement: Learners often stress the second syllable, saying e-CO-system /iːˌkoʊˈsɪstəm/ instead of the correct E-co-system /ˈiː.koʊˌsɪs.təm/. Tip: The primary stress should be on the first syllable.
- Mispronouncing the initial vowel: Some pronounce eco- as “eh-ko” /ˈɛkoʊ/ when the accepted pronunciation is often “ee-ko” /ˈiːkoʊ/. Tip: Use a smooth long “ee” as in “see.”
- Overemphasizing the middle syllable: Learners sometimes stretch the “sys” into /siːs/, making the word sound unnatural. Tip: The middle syllable is short: /sɪs/.
- Dropping the final syllable: A common error is shortening the word to eco-sys or eco-sis, leaving off /təm/. Tip: Include all four syllables for clarity.
- Confusing “eco” with “echo”: Some pronounce it as /ˈɛkoʊ/, turning it into echo-system. Tip: Avoid the “ehk” sound — keep it as “ee-ko.”
