Common mistakes of expeditiously pronunciation

  1. Misplacing stress: Many speakers incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "ex-ˌpe-'di-tiously". The correct stress is on the third syllable: "ˌɛk-spə-ˈdɪʃ-əs-li". Tip: Focus on emphasizing "dicious" to get it right.
  2. Omitting syllables: Some may pronounce "expeditiously" as "ˌɛk-spə-ˈtɪʃ-li", dropping the "di". This makes the word sound incomplete. Tip: Practice saying each syllable clearly: "ex-pe-di-tiously".
  3. Confusing vowel sounds: The "e" in the second syllable is often mispronounced as "i", leading to "ˌɛk-spi-ˈdɪʃ-əs-li". The correct sound is "ə". Tip: Remember the schwa sound "ə" in unstressed syllables for accuracy.
  4. Incorrect ending: Some speakers may say "expeditious" instead of "expeditiously", missing the adverbial suffix. The ending should sound like "əs-li". Tip: Add the suffix carefully to maintain the word's form and meaning.
  5. Speeding through syllables: When spoken too quickly, "expeditiously" may lose clarity, sounding like "ekspədishly". This can confuse listeners. Tip: Slow down and articulate each part of the word to ensure understanding.
