Common mistakes of iatrogenic pronunciation

  1. Misplacing the stress: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "iat-ro-'genic". Tip: Remember to place the primary stress on the third syllable: /ˌaɪə.trəʊˈdʒɛn.ɪk/ (UK) or /ˌaɪə.trəˈdʒɛn.ɪk/ (US).
  2. Overemphasizing the "iat": Some pronounce "iatrogenic" with a heavy emphasis on the first syllable, sounding like "IAT-ro-genic". Tip: Keep the first syllable light and focus on the stress in the third syllable.
  3. Ignoring the "g": A common mistake is to pronounce "iatrogenic" without the "g", resulting in "iat-ro-'enic". Tip: Ensure you pronounce the "g" clearly to maintain the integrity of the word: /ˌaɪə.trəʊˈdʒɛn.ɪk/.
  4. Incorrect vowel sounds: Learners may mix up the vowel sounds, saying "iatro-genic" with a short "o". Tip: Pay attention to the diphthong in the second syllable, pronounced as /əʊ/ in UK English and /oʊ/ in US English.
  5. Skipping syllables: Some may shorten "iatrogenic" to just "iatrogen", omitting the final syllable. Tip: Pronounce all syllables clearly, ensuring you say the full word: /ˌaɪə.trəʊˈdʒɛn.ɪk/ (UK) or /ˌaɪə.trəˈdʒɛn.ɪk/ (US).
