Common mistakes of regulatory pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Many speakers incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "reg-u-ˈla-tor-y". The correct stress is on the third syllable: "ˈrɛɡ.jəˌleɪ.tɔːr.i" (US) and "ˈrɛɡ.jʊ.lə.tər.i" (UK). Tip: Focus on saying "regulatory" with emphasis on the "reg" and "la".
- Omitting syllables: Some people drop the second syllable, pronouncing it as "ˈrɛɡ.lə.tɔːr.i". This makes the word sound incomplete. The full pronunciation includes all syllables: "ˈrɛɡ.jəˌleɪ.tɔːr.i" (US) and "ˈrɛɡ.jʊ.lə.tər.i" (UK). Tip: Practice saying each syllable clearly.
- Incorrect vowel sounds: A common mistake is mispronouncing the "u" in the second syllable, saying "reg-ˈgle-tor-y". The correct sound is "jə" in US and "ʊ" in UK. Tip: Listen to native speakers to hear the correct vowel sounds.
- Confusing vowel length: Some learners pronounce the "a" in "la" too short, saying "reg-ˈgle-tor-y". The correct pronunciation has a long "a": "ˈrɛɡ.jəˌleɪ.tɔːr.i" (US) and "ˈrɛɡ.jʊ.lə.tər.i" (UK). Tip: Pay attention to the length of the vowels when practicing.
- Blending syllables: People sometimes blend the last two syllables, saying "reg-u-la-tory". The correct form keeps them distinct: "ˈrɛɡ.jəˌleɪ.tɔːr.i" (US) and "ˈrɛɡ.jʊ.lə.tər.i" (UK). Tip: Break the word into parts to avoid blending.
