Common mistakes of prejudice pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some people incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "pre-JU-dice" [ˈprɛdʒ.ʊ.dɪs]. The correct stress is on the first syllable: "PRE-judice" [ˈprɛdʒ.ʊ.dɪs]. Tip: Remember to emphasize the first syllable.
- Incorrect vowel sounds: A common mistake is pronouncing the "e" in "prejudice" as a long vowel, like "ee." The correct pronunciation uses a short "e" sound: [ˈprɛdʒ.ʊ.dɪs]. Tip: Focus on a quick, short "e" to sound more natural.
- Omitting the "j" sound: Some speakers skip the "j" sound, pronouncing it as "PRE-judice" [ˈprɛdʒ.ɪs] without the "j." This alters the word's clarity. Tip: Ensure you pronounce the "j" clearly to maintain the word's integrity.
- Confusing "prejudice" with "prejudiced": People often pronounce "prejudice" as if it's the past tense "prejudiced" [ˈprɛdʒ.ʊ.dɪst]. The latter has a different ending. Tip: Distinguish between the two by practicing their unique endings.
- Mispronouncing the final "dice": Some may say "preju-DICE" [ˈprɛdʒ.ʊ.daɪs], stressing the last syllable incorrectly. The correct pronunciation has a softer ending: "prejudice" [ˈprɛdʒ.ʊ.dɪs]. Tip: Keep the last syllable light and quick.
