Common mistakes of reputation pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Many people incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "repuˈtation" instead of the correct "ˌrepuˈtation". Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the third syllable.
- Omitting the "u" sound: Some learners may pronounce it as "repitation", dropping the "u". This leads to confusion. Tip: Ensure you pronounce the "u" clearly, as in "ˌrepuˈtation".
- Confusing the vowel sounds: The vowel in the first syllable can be mispronounced. Instead of "re" as in "red", it's pronounced "re" like in "regret". Tip: Practice saying "re" as "ˈrɛ" to get the right sound.
- Adding an extra syllable: Some might say "rep-u-ta-tion" with four syllables instead of the correct three. Tip: Focus on blending the sounds to maintain three syllables: "ˌrepuˈtation".
- Mispronouncing the "t" sound: Learners may pronounce the "t" too softly, making it sound like a "d". The correct pronunciation is a clear "t" as in "top". Tip: Emphasize the "t" in "ˌrepuˈtation" to ensure clarity.
