Common mistakes of humiliated pronunciation

Stress on the wrong syllable: Some learners stress the second syllable, saying "hu-ˈmil-i-a-ted". The correct stress is on the third syllable: "hjuːˈmɪl.i.eɪ.tɪd" (US) / "hjuːˈmɪl.ɪ.eɪ.tɪd" (UK). Tip: Focus on the "mil" part for correct emphasis.
Vowel sound confusion: The "u" in "humiliated" is often mispronounced. Some say "hʌm" instead of "hjuːm". The correct pronunciation starts with a "y" sound: "hjuː". Tip: Practice saying "you" to get the right "u" sound.
Overemphasis on the "i": Learners may pronounce the "i" in the third syllable too strongly, saying "hjuːˈmɪl.iː.a.ted". The correct pronunciation has a short "i": "hjuːˈmɪl.ɪ.eɪ.tɪd". Tip: Keep the "i" light and quick.
Dropping the final "ted": Some people say "humiliat" instead of "humiliated". The final "ted" is essential for clarity. The full pronunciation is "hjuːˈmɪl.i.eɪ.tɪd". Tip: Always finish with the "ted" to complete the word.
Confusing "humiliated" with "humiliation": Learners may mix up these two words, mispronouncing "humiliated" as "humili-ˈa-tion". The correct form is distinct: "hjuːˈmɪl.i.eɪ.tɪd". Tip: Remember that "humiliated" describes the action, while "humiliation" is the noun.
