Common mistakes of pipette pronunciation
- Incorrect vowel sound: Many learners mispronounce "pipette" by using a short "i" sound, saying /pɪˈpɛt/. The correct pronunciation is /paɪˈpɛt/ in US English and /pɪˈpɛt/ in UK English. Tip: Focus on the long "i" sound in the first syllable.
- Stress placement error: Some people incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "pipette" as /pɪˈpɛt/. The primary stress should be on the second syllable in both US and UK pronunciations. Tip: Emphasize the "t" in "pipette" to get it right.
- Overemphasis on "e": A common mistake is to overly stress the "e" in "pipette," leading to /pɪˈpiːt/. The correct pronunciation has a more subtle "e" sound. Tip: Practice saying the word smoothly without elongating the "e."
- Silent "t" confusion: Some speakers may pronounce the "t" in "pipette" as silent, resulting in /paɪˈpɛ/. However, the "t" is pronounced in both US and UK English. Tip: Make sure to clearly enunciate the "t" at the end.
- Mispronouncing as "pipet": A frequent error is dropping the final "te," pronouncing "pipette" as /pɪˈpɛt/. The full pronunciation includes the "te" sound. Tip: Remember that "pipette" ends with a clear "t" sound, not just "pipet."
