Common mistakes of infinite pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Many people incorrectly stress the second syllable in "infinite" as /ˈɪn.fɪ.nɪt/. The correct stress is on the first syllable: /ˈɪn.fɪ.nət/. Tip: Focus on saying "IN-finite" to emphasize the first syllable.
- Incorrect vowel sounds: Some learners pronounce "infinite" with an overly emphasized "i" sound in the first syllable, making it sound like /ˈaɪn.fɪ.nɪt/. The correct pronunciation is /ˈɪn.fɪ.nət/. Tip: Practice the short "i" sound as in "sit."
- Omitting the final syllable: A common mistake is to shorten "infinite" to /ˈɪn.fɪt/, dropping the final syllable entirely. The full pronunciation is /ˈɪn.fɪ.nət/. Tip: Always remember to include the last syllable when speaking.
- Confusing with "infinity": Some may mix up "infinite" with "infinity," pronouncing both the same way. "Infinite" is pronounced /ˈɪn.fɪ.nət/, while "infinity" is /ɪnˈfɪn.ɪ.ti/. Tip: Pay attention to the syllable count and stress patterns for clarity.
- Mispronouncing the "t": It's common to hear "infinite" pronounced with a strong "t" sound, like /ˈɪn.fɪ.nɪt/. The correct pronunciation has a softer "t" sound: /ˈɪn.fɪ.nət/. Tip: Practice saying the word slowly to ensure a soft ending.
