Common mistakes of lethality pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "le-THAL-i-ty" instead of "le-THA-li-ty" (ˌlɛθˈæl.ɪ.ti). Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the third syllable.
- Omitting the "h": A common mistake is pronouncing "lethality" as "letality," dropping the "h" sound. This alters the word's meaning. Tip: Focus on clearly pronouncing the "h" in "lethality" to maintain accuracy.
- Incorrect vowel sounds: Some might pronounce "lethality" with an incorrect vowel sound, saying "lethality" as "lithality." The correct pronunciation uses a short "e" sound (ˈlɛθ). Tip: Practice the "e" as in "bed" for the first syllable.
- Mispronouncing the final "y": Learners often pronounce the final "y" as a long "ee" sound, saying "lethality" as "lethalitee." The correct ending is a short "i" sound (ɪ). Tip: Keep the final syllable short and crisp.
- Ignoring syllable breaks: Some may combine syllables, pronouncing "lethality" as one long sound. This can confuse listeners. Tip: Break it down into three clear syllables: "le-THA-li-ty."
