Common mistakes of egypt pronunciation

- Incorrect vowel sound: A common mistake is pronouncing "egypt" with a long "e" sound, like "ee-gipt". Tip: Use the short "i" sound as in "it", represented by /ɪ/ in the IPA.

- Confusing the "t" sound: Learners may pronounce "egypt" with a softer "t", sounding like "e-jip". Tip: Pronounce the "t" clearly and firmly, as in /ˈɪdʒ.ɪpt/ for US and /ˈiː.dʒɪpt/ for UK.
- Mispronouncing the final consonant: Some might say "egypt" with a silent "t", resulting in "e-jip". Tip: Always articulate the final "t" to avoid confusion, using /ˈɪdʒ.ɪpt/ for US and /ˈiː.dʒɪpt/ for UK.
