Common mistakes of exasperated pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Many people stress the second syllable, saying "exasperated" as /ɪɡˈzæspəˌreɪtɪd/ instead of the correct primary stress on the third syllable: /ɪɡˈzæspəˌreɪtɪd/. Tip: Remember to emphasize the "asper" part.
- Ignoring the vowel sounds: Some pronounce "exasperated" with unclear vowel sounds, leading to confusion. The correct IPA is /ɪɡˈzæspəˌreɪtɪd/ for both US and UK. Tip: Pay attention to each vowel to maintain clarity.
- Overemphasizing the "x": A common mistake is to make the "x" sound too strong, saying "exasperated" as /ˈɛksæspəˌreɪtɪd/. The correct pronunciation has a softer "x" sound. Tip: Focus on a light "e" sound instead of a hard "x."
- Skipping syllables: Some may pronounce "exasperated" too quickly, omitting the "er" sound, leading to "exaspated." The full pronunciation is /ɪɡˈzæspəˌreɪtɪd/. Tip: Break the word down into syllables to practice each part.
- Mispronouncing the ending: A frequent error is saying "exasperated" with a flat ending, like "exasperat." The correct IPA is /ɪɡˈzæspəˌreɪtɪd/, which includes the "ed" sound. Tip: Always pronounce the "ed" clearly to finish strong.
