Common mistakes of negus pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "ne-GUS" instead of "NE-gus". Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the first syllable, as shown in IPA: /ˈnɛɡəs/ (US), /ˈniːɡəs/ (UK).
- Incorrect vowel sounds: Some pronounce "negus" with an "a" sound, saying "nagus". This is inaccurate. Tip: Focus on the correct vowel sound /ɛ/ in US pronunciation and /iː/ in UK pronunciation.
- Overemphasizing the "g": Learners may pronounce the "g" too harshly, sounding like "neg-us" instead of "negus". Tip: Keep the "g" soft and smooth, as in /ˈnɛɡəs/ (US) or /ˈniːɡəs/ (UK).
- Adding an extra syllable: Some people mistakenly say "ne-gus" with two syllables instead of one. Tip: Practice blending the sounds together to maintain the single-syllable pronunciation: /ˈnɛɡəs/ (US) or /ˈniːɡəs/ (UK).
- Confusing "negus" with similar words: Learners might confuse "negus" with "neglect" or "nexus". Tip: Pay attention to the distinct vowel sounds and syllable stress to differentiate these words effectively.
