Common mistakes of incisor pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Some learners place stress on the second syllable, pronouncing it as "in-CI-sor" [ɪnˈsaɪzər] (US) or [ɪnˈsaɪzə] (UK). Tip: Remember to stress the first syllable: "in-CI-sor".
- Incorrect vowel sounds: A common mistake is mispronouncing the first vowel, saying "in-cisor" with a short "i" sound. The correct pronunciation has a short "i" as in "hit" [ɪnˈsaɪzər]. Tip: Focus on the "in" sounding like "in" in "pin".
- Omitting the "s" sound: Some may drop the "s" sound, saying "in-cider" instead of "incisor". This alters the meaning entirely. Tip: Ensure you clearly pronounce the "s" as in "see" between the vowels.
- Confusing with "incisive": Learners sometimes confuse "incisor" with "incisive", leading to incorrect pronunciation. "Incisive" has a different stress pattern and vowel sounds. Tip: Practice saying "incisor" distinctly to avoid mixing them up.
- Incorrectly pronouncing the final syllable: Some may pronounce it as "in-cis-or" with a separate "or" sound. The correct pronunciation combines the last two syllables. Tip: Blend the sounds smoothly to say "incisor" correctly.
