Common mistakes of haughty pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some learners stress the second syllable, saying "haugh-'ty" instead of ""haughty". This alters the word's rhythm. Tip: Remember to stress the first syllable, as in IPA /ˈhɔː.ti/ for UK and /ˈhɔː.t̬i/ for US.
- Incorrect vowel sound: A common mistake is pronouncing "haughty" with a short "o" sound, like "hotty". This is incorrect. Tip: Use the long "aw" sound, as in /ˈhɔː/ for UK and /ˈhɔː/ for US, to capture the correct pronunciation.
- Ignoring the "gh": Some might pronounce "haughty" as "haughty" without the "gh" sound. This can lead to confusion. Tip: Ensure to pronounce "gh" as silent, focusing on "h" and the vowel sounds.
- Overemphasizing the "t": Learners may overemphasize the "t" sound, saying "haugh-tee" instead of "haughty". This can sound unnatural. Tip: Keep the "t" soft and integrated into the flow of the word.
- Mispronouncing with a diphthong: Some may use a diphthong in the vowel sound, resulting in "haugh-tee". This is not correct. Tip: Stick to a pure vowel sound in "haughty", focusing on a clear and steady pronunciation.
