Common mistakes of edition pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "e-DI-tion" instead of "ED-ition" /ɪˈdɪʃ.ən/. Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the first syllable.
- Omitting the "d" sound: A common error is dropping the "d" sound, pronouncing it as "e-ition" instead of "e-DITION" /ɪˈdɪʃ.ən/. Tip: Focus on clearly articulating the "d" to maintain the correct pronunciation.
- Confusing the vowel sound: Some may pronounce the first syllable with a long "e" sound, as in "ee-dition". The correct pronunciation is with a short "i" sound, "ed" /ɪ/. Tip: Practice saying "i" as in "sit" to get it right.
- Mispronouncing the ending: Learners sometimes say "edi-tion" with a clear "t" sound, missing the schwa /ə/ in the last syllable. The correct pronunciation is "ed-ition" /ɪˈdɪʃ.ən/. Tip: Focus on softening the "t" to a schwa sound for a smoother finish.
