Common mistakes of manicotti pronunciation

Incorrect stress placement: Many people place stress on the second syllable, saying "man-i-ˈkotti". The correct stress is on the third syllable: "ˌmæn.ɪˈkɒ.ti". Tip: Remember to emphasize the "kott" part.
Mispronouncing the "c": Some pronounce "manicotti" with a hard "c", saying "man-i-ˈkɑː.ti". The "c" should sound like "k": "ˌmæn.ɪˈkɒ.ti". Tip: Think of "cat" when saying the "c".
Omitting the vowels: A common mistake is to say "manikoti" without the second vowel sound. The correct pronunciation includes all vowels: "ˌmæn.ɪˈkɒ.ti". Tip: Clearly enunciate each syllable to avoid dropping vowels.

Vowel sound errors: People may mispronounce the "o" in the last syllable, saying "man-i-ˈkɔː.ti". The correct sound is a short "o": "ˌmæn.ɪˈkɒ.ti". Tip: Practice saying "hot" to get the right vowel sound for "kotti".
