Common mistakes of exquisite pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Many learners stress the second syllable instead of the first, saying "ex-ˈquisite". This is incorrect. Tip: Remember to emphasize the first syllable "ˈex" for proper pronunciation.
- Omitting the "x" sound: Some speakers might say "e-ˈquisite," dropping the "x" sound entirely. This can lead to confusion. Tip: Ensure you pronounce the "x" as /ks/ to maintain clarity.
- Incorrect vowel sounds: The "i" in "exquisite" is often mispronounced as a long "ee" sound, leading to "ex-ˈquee-zit." This is not standard. Tip: Use a short "i" sound, as in /ɪ/, for accuracy.
- Overemphasizing the final "t": Some might over-pronounce the "t" at the end, saying "exquisite" with a strong "t" sound. This can sound unnatural. Tip: Keep the "t" soft and quick, almost blending it with the preceding vowel.
- Confusing with similar words: Learners may confuse "exquisite" with words like "exhibit," leading to mispronunciation. Tip: Focus on the unique sounds and syllable structure of "exquisite" to differentiate it clearly.
