Common mistakes of entitled pronunciation
- Stress misplacement: Some learners place the stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "en-ˈtitled" instead of the correct "ˈen-titled". Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the first syllable.
- Vowel confusion: The vowel sound in the first syllable can be mispronounced. Some might say "in-titled" with an "i" sound instead of the correct "en" sound as in "pen". Tip: Focus on the "e" sound in "entitled", pronounced as /ɛ/.
- Overemphasis on the "t": Some speakers may overly stress the "t" in "entitled", making it sound harsh. The correct pronunciation is smoother, as in /t/ not being overly pronounced. Tip: Keep the "t" light and natural.
- Ending sound neglect: The final "d" can be dropped or softened, leading to "en-titl" instead of "en-titled". This can confuse listeners. Tip: Ensure to articulate the "d" clearly at the end of "entitled".
- Syllable omission: Some may mistakenly pronounce "entitled" as a two-syllable word, "en-tit". This omits the middle syllable. Tip: Practice saying all three syllables: "en-tit-led", keeping them distinct.
