Common mistakes of injured pronunciation

Incorrect vowel sound: Many people pronounce "injured" with a long "i" sound, like /ˈɪn.dʒɚd/ (US) or /ˈɪn.dʒəd/ (UK). This can make the word sound unnatural. Tip: Focus on the short "i" sound in the first syllable.
Misplaced stress: Some learners put stress on the second syllable, saying "in-"jured instead of "injured" with primary stress on the first syllable. Tip: Remember to emphasize the first syllable: /ˈɪn.dʒɚd/ (US) or /ˈɪn.dʒəd/ (UK).
Omitting the "j" sound: A common mistake is to drop the "j" sound, pronouncing it as "inured." This alters the word's meaning. Tip: Ensure you pronounce "injured" with a clear "j" sound, as in /ˈɪn.dʒɚd/ (US) or /ˈɪn.dʒəd/ (UK).
Confusing "injured" with "injure": Some may mistakenly pronounce "injured" as if it were the base form "injure." This can lead to miscommunication. Tip: Keep in mind that "injured" has an extra syllable, pronounced as /ˈɪn.dʒɚd/ (US) or /ˈɪn.dʒəd/ (UK).
Overemphasizing the "d": Some speakers may overemphasize the "d" at the end, making it sound harsh. Tip: Keep the ending soft, ensuring it flows smoothly as /ˈɪn.dʒɚd/ (US) or /ˈɪn.dʒəd/ (UK).
