Common mistakes of market pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "mar-KET" instead of "MAR-ket". Tip: Remember to emphasize the first syllable: /ˈmɑrkɪt/ (US), /ˈmɑːkɪt/ (UK).
- Omitting the vowel sound: A common mistake is dropping the vowel sound in the second syllable, pronouncing it as "MARKT". Tip: Ensure you pronounce both syllables clearly: /ˈmɑrkɪt/ (US), /ˈmɑːkɪt/ (UK).
- Confusing vowel sounds: Some may mispronounce "market" with a short "a" sound, saying "muh-rket". Tip: Use the correct long "a" sound as in "car": /ˈmɑrkɪt/ (US), /ˈmɑːkɪt/ (UK).
- Adding an extra syllable: Learners sometimes say "mar-ket" with an extra vowel sound, making it three syllables. Tip: Focus on keeping it two syllables: /ˈmɑrkɪt/ (US), /ˈmɑːkɪt/ (UK).
- Mispronouncing the final "t": Some might pronounce it softly or not at all, saying "marke". Tip: Pronounce the final "t" clearly to avoid confusion: /ˈmɑrkɪt/ (US), /ˈmɑːkɪt/ (UK).
