Common mistakes of estate pronunciation
- Incorrect vowel sound: Some learners pronounce "estate" with an incorrect vowel sound, saying /ɪ/ instead of /eɪ/. Tip: Focus on the "e" in "estate" and ensure it sounds like "ay" as in "day".
- Misplaced stress: A common mistake is placing stress on the second syllable, saying /ɪˈsteɪt/ instead of the correct /ˈɛsteɪt/. Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the first syllable: "es".
- Omitting the final "t": Some speakers drop the "t" sound at the end, pronouncing it as "es-tae". This leads to confusion with similar words. Tip: Be sure to clearly articulate the "t" in "estate".
- Overemphasizing the "s": A few learners may overemphasize the "s" sound, creating a hissing effect. This can distort the clarity of the word. Tip: Keep the "s" sound smooth and balanced, not too harsh.
- Confusing with "estates": Some confuse "estate" with the plural form "estates", leading to incorrect pronunciation. The singular "estate" is pronounced /ˈɛsteɪt/, while the plural has a clearer "s" sound. Tip: Practice saying both forms separately to distinguish them.
