Common mistakes of necessarily pronunciation
- Stress placement: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "ne-ˈces-sarily". The correct stress is on the third syllable: "ˌnɛs.əˈsɛr.ɪ.li". Tip: Practice saying "necessarily" slowly, emphasizing the "sɛr".
- Missing syllables: Some people might pronounce "necessarily" as "ˈnes.sə.rɪ.li", omitting the second syllable. This makes the word sound incomplete. Tip: Break it down into syllables: "nes-sar-i-ly" to ensure you include all parts.
- Vowel confusion: The "e" in the first syllable is often mispronounced as "i", leading to "nɪˈses-sarily". The correct sound is "ɛ". Tip: Focus on the "nes" part, ensuring you use the short "e" sound.
- Final sound omission: Some speakers drop the "li" sound at the end, saying "ˌnɛs.əˈsɛr.i" instead of "ˌnɛs.əˈsɛr.ɪ.li". This changes the word's clarity. Tip: Always finish with a clear "li" to maintain the word's integrity.
- Incorrect vowel sounds: The "a" in the second syllable can be mispronounced as "æ", resulting in "ˈnæs.sə.rɪ.li". The correct vowel is "ɛ". Tip: Make sure to pronounce the "sar" with an "ɛ" sound, not "æ".
