Common mistakes of indefatigable pronunciation
- Incorrect stress placement: Many learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "in-de-'fat-i-ga-ble". The correct stress is on the third syllable: "in-de-ˈfat-ɪ-gə-bəl" (US) and "in-de-ˈfæ-tɪ-gə-bəl" (UK). Tip: Remember to emphasize "fat" to pronounce it correctly.
- Missing syllables: Some may omit the second syllable, pronouncing it as "in-fati-gable". This leads to an incomplete pronunciation of "indefatigable" which has five syllables. Tip: Break it down into "in-de-fat-i-ga-ble" to ensure all parts are pronounced.
- Mispronouncing the "g": A common mistake is pronouncing the "g" as a hard sound, saying "indefat-i-gable" instead of "indefat-i-gə-bəl". The "g" in this word is soft. Tip: Practice saying "gə" to get the correct sound.
- Vowel confusion: Some learners confuse the vowel sounds in the last syllable, pronouncing it "indefatig-a-ble". The correct pronunciation is "indefatigable" with the last syllable pronounced as "bə". Tip: Focus on the "gə-bəl" ending to avoid this mistake.
- Overemphasizing the initial syllable: Some may stress the first syllable too much, saying "'in-de-fat-i-gable". The primary stress is actually on the third syllable. Tip: Keep the first syllable light and save the emphasis for "fat".
