Common mistakes of psoriasis pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Many people incorrectly stress the first syllable, saying "PSOR-iasis" (/ˈsɔːr.ɪ.əs/ in UK, /səˈraɪ.ə.sɪs/ in US). Tip: Remember to stress the second syllable, "sa", for correct pronunciation.
- Ignoring the silent letters: Some may pronounce "psoriasis" as if the "p" is vocalized, saying "p-soriasis". Tip: The "p" is silent; start with the "s" sound, "soriasis".
- Overemphasizing the vowels: People sometimes elongate the vowel sounds, saying "sor-EE-asis". Tip: Keep the vowel sounds short and crisp, as in "sor-AY-uh-sis".
- Incorrect vowel sounds: Some might confuse the "o" sound, pronouncing it as "sor-uh-EE-as". Tip: Use a short "o" sound, similar to "sor", not "soar", to maintain accuracy.
- Mispronouncing the ending: A common mistake is to say "psoriasis" with an emphasis on the last syllable, like "sor-i-ASS". Tip: The correct ending should sound like "siss", keeping it soft and subtle.
