Common mistakes of renowned pronunciation
- Incorrect vowel sound: Some learners might pronounce "renowned" with a short "e" sound as in "pen" instead of the correct long "e" sound /ɪˈnaʊnd/. Tip: Focus on the "e" in the first syllable to ensure it sounds like "ree."
- Misplaced stress: A common mistake is stressing the second syllable, saying "re-NAWNED" instead of the correct "re-NOWNED" /rɪˈnaʊnd/. Tip: Practice saying the word slowly, emphasizing the first syllable.
- Dropping the "d": Some may omit the final "d," pronouncing it as "re-NOWN" instead of "renowned" /rɪˈnaʊnd/. Tip: Remember that the "d" is crucial for the correct pronunciation, so articulate it clearly.
- Confusing with "renown": Learners sometimes confuse "renowned" with "renown," thinking they are interchangeable. "Renown" is a noun, while "renowned" is an adjective. Tip: Practice using both words in sentences to reinforce their meanings and pronunciations.
- Overemphasizing "ow": Some might pronounce "renowned" with an exaggerated "ow" sound, leading to "re-NOW-nd." The correct pronunciation is /rɪˈnaʊnd/. Tip: Keep the "ow" sound smooth and quick to avoid overemphasis.
