Common mistakes of every pronunciation
- Dropping the "v": Some learners pronounce "every" as "eery" /ˈɛri/ instead of /ˈɛv.ri/. This omission can change the word's clarity. Tip: Focus on articulating the "v" sound clearly.
- Misplacing stress: Incorrectly stressing the second syllable can lead to "e-very" /ˌɛvˈri/. The correct stress is on the first syllable /ˈɛv.ri/. Tip: Practice saying "every" with emphasis on "ev".
- Confusing with "ever": Some mistakenly say "ever" /ˈɛv.ər/ when they mean "every". This can confuse listeners. Tip: Remember that "every" includes the "r" sound, while "ever" does not.
- Inserting an extra syllable: Some may say "e-very" /ˌɛv.ə.ri/ instead of /ˈɛv.ri/. Adding an extra syllable can make it sound unnatural. Tip: Keep "every" as two syllables, not three.
- Pronouncing "y" as a vowel: Some pronounce "every" with a long "y" sound, like "e-vree" /ˈɛv.riː/. This alters the word's meaning. Tip: Ensure the "y" is pronounced as a consonant /rɪ/ in "every".
