Common mistakes of hematemesis pronunciation
- Stress placement: Some learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying /hɪˈmæt.ə.mə.sɪs/. The correct stress is on the third syllable: /ˌhiː.məˈtɛm.ə.sɪs/. Tip: Emphasize "TEM" to keep the stress in the right place.
- Incorrect vowel sounds: A common error is using a short /ɪ/ in the first syllable, pronouncing /hɪˈmæt…/. The correct vowel is the long /iː/, making it /ˌhiː.məˈtɛm.ə.sɪs/. Tip: Start with "hee-" like in "heat."
- Omitting syllables: Some shorten it to /ˌhiː.məˈmɛs/, dropping the middle syllables. The correct form has five syllables: /ˌhiː.məˈtɛm.ə.sɪs/. Tip: Say it slowly as "hee-ma-TEM-a-sis" to practice all syllables.
- Dropping the initial "h": Learners may say /iː.məˈtɛm.ə.sɪs/, skipping the "h." Tip: Always pronounce the /h/ at the beginning to distinguish the word.
- Mispronouncing the final syllable: Some say /ˈsɪz/ or /ˈsɪʃ/ instead of /sɪs/. Tip: Keep the last syllable simple and clear: "-sis."
