Common mistakes of raita pronunciation

  1. Misplacing stress: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, pronouncing it as /ˈraɪtə/. The correct pronunciation is /ˈraɪtə/ in both US and UK English. Tip: Focus on the first syllable for proper stress.
  2. Incorrect vowel sounds: Some may pronounce "a" in "raita" as in "cat," leading to /ˈrɛɪtə/. The correct sound is /ˈraɪtə/. Tip: Practice saying "ride" to get the right vowel sound.
  3. Over-articulating the "t": Pronouncing "t" too harshly can lead to /ˈraɪtɑ/. In standard pronunciation, the "t" is softer, sounding closer to /ˈraɪtə/. Tip: Keep the "t" light and quick to maintain the flow.
