Common mistakes of quotidian pronunciation

  1. Misplacing stress: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, pronouncing it as "kwo-ˈtɪd-i-ən". The correct stress is on the third syllable: "kwo-ˈtɪd-i-ən". Tip: Remember to emphasize the "tɪd" part.
  2. Overlooking the "q": Some may pronounce "quotidian" as if it starts with a "k" sound, saying "kwo-ˈtɪd-i-ən". The "q" should be pronounced like "kw". Tip: Focus on the "kw" blend at the beginning.
  3. Ignoring the "u": A common mistake is to drop the "u" sound, saying "ˈtɪd-i-ən" instead of "kwo-ˈtɪd-i-ən". The "u" is essential for the correct pronunciation. Tip: Make sure to include the "kw" sound before the "o".
  4. Mispronouncing the "d": Some may pronounce the "d" as a "t", saying "kwo-ˈtɪt-i-ən". The correct pronunciation includes a clear "d" sound. Tip: Pay attention to the "d" in the middle of the word.
  5. Skipping the final syllable: Learners might truncate "quotidian" to "kwo-ˈtɪd", omitting the last syllable. The full pronunciation is important for clarity. Tip: Practice saying the entire word to ensure you include all syllables.
