Common mistakes of mignonette pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Many pronounce "mignonette" with incorrect stress on the second syllable, saying /ˌmɪn.jəˈnɛt/. Tip: Remember to stress the last syllable instead, as in /ˌmɪn.jəˈnɛt/ for US and UK.
- Incorrect vowel sounds: Some may say "mignonette" with a flat "i" sound, like /mɪn.jəˈnɛt/. Tip: Use the correct vowel sounds, especially the "i" in the first syllable, pronounced as /mɪn/.
