Common mistakes of mari pronunciation
- Stress placement: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "ma-ˈri". In both US and UK English, the correct stress is on the first syllable, "ˈmari". Tip: Practice saying "mari" with emphasis on the first syllable.
- Vowel confusion: Some pronounce "mari" with a long "a" sound, as in "may". The correct pronunciation uses a short "a" sound, similar to "cat" in "ˈmari". Tip: Focus on the "ah" sound to avoid this mistake.
- Incorrect vowel sound: A common error is to use a diphthong, saying "mari" like "my-ree". The correct pronunciation is a single vowel sound, "ˈmari". Tip: Keep the vowel sound steady without gliding into another sound.
- Adding extra syllables: Some speakers mistakenly add an extra syllable, pronouncing it as "ma-ri". The correct pronunciation is two syllables, "ˈmari". Tip: Practice saying the word quickly to eliminate any unnecessary syllables.
- Mispronouncing the final "i": Learners sometimes pronounce the final "i" as a long "ee" sound, saying "mar-ee". The correct pronunciation is a short "i" sound, as in "bit", resulting in "ˈmari". Tip: Listen to native speakers to hear the correct sound.
