Common mistakes of remove pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some learners stress the second syllable, saying "re-ˈmove". This is incorrect; the primary stress is on the last syllable in both US and UK pronunciations: /rɪˈmuːv/. Tip: Always emphasize the "move" part.
- Incorrect vowel sounds: Many pronounce "remove" with a short "e" sound, as in "red". The correct pronunciation has a long "u" sound, /rɪˈmuːv/. Tip: Focus on elongating the "u" to achieve clarity.
- Overemphasizing the first syllable: Some say "ˈre-move", giving too much weight to the first syllable. The correct stress is on the second syllable. Tip: Practice saying "remove" with a softer "re" to balance the stress.
- Omitting the final "e": A common mistake is pronouncing "remove" as "remov", dropping the final sound. The correct pronunciation includes the "e": /rɪˈmuːv/. Tip: Ensure you articulate the final "e" to complete the word properly.
- Confusing it with similar words: Some mix "remove" with "re-move" (to move again). While similar, "remove" means to take away. Tip: Remember that "remove" has a single action, while "re-move" indicates repetition.
