Common mistakes of enigmatic pronunciation
- Incorrect vowel sound: Many pronounce "enigmatic" with an "e" as in "bed" /ɛ/, instead of the correct "e" as in "see" /ɪ/. Tip: Focus on the first syllable, which should sound like "in" /ɪn/.
- Misplaced stress: Some people place stress on the second syllable, saying "en-ig-'matic" instead of the correct "en-'ig-matic". Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the third syllable /ˈɛnɪɡˌmætɪk/.
- Silent "g": A common mistake is to pronounce the "g" in "enigmatic". It should not be pronounced; the correct pronunciation is /ˌɛnɪɡˈmætɪk/. Tip: Practice saying the word without emphasizing the "g".
- Overemphasizing "atic": Some learners stress the last syllable too much, saying "enig-ma-'tic". Tip: Keep the stress on the third syllable /ˈmæt/, making the last syllable lighter and less prominent.
- Confusing "t" sound: The "t" in "enigmatic" is often pronounced too harshly, sounding like a "d" /d/. The correct sound should be a clear "t" /t/. Tip: Make sure to articulate the "t" clearly at the end of the word.
