Common mistakes of eyebrow pronunciation
- Stress placement: Some learners place the stress incorrectly on the second syllable, pronouncing it as "eye-BROW". The correct stress is on the first syllable: /ˈaɪˌbraʊ/ (US) and /ˈaɪˌbraʊ/ (UK). Tip: Always emphasize the first syllable "eye".
- Vowel sound confusion: People often mispronounce "eyebrow" by blending the sounds, saying "eyebro" instead of clearly articulating both syllables. The correct pronunciation includes a distinct "brow" sound. Tip: Practice saying each syllable separately, focusing on the "brow".
- Omitting the "b": Some may drop the "b" sound, pronouncing it as "eyebrow" like "eyero". This alters the meaning and clarity of the word. The "b" is essential. Tip: Pay attention to the "b" sound, ensuring it is pronounced clearly.
- Incorrect vowel length: Learners sometimes pronounce the "eye" too short, making it sound like "ayebrow". The "eye" should be a long vowel sound. Tip: Extend the "eye" sound slightly when pronouncing "eyebrow" to achieve the correct length.
- Mispronouncing the ending: Some might pronounce "eyebrow" with a flat sound at the end, like "eyebrow". The ending should have a slight upward intonation, emphasizing the "brow". Tip: Focus on the "brow" part, ensuring it is pronounced with clarity and emphasis.
