Common mistakes of results pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Some learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "re-ˈsults" instead of the correct "ˈre-sults". Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the first syllable.
- Omitting the final "s": It's common to hear "result" without the final "s", sounding like "re-ˈzʌlt". This is incorrect as "results" is always plural. Tip: Always pronounce the "s" at the end to indicate plurality.
- Confusing vowel sounds: Some may say "re-ˈzʌlts" instead of "ˈre-sults", mispronouncing the first vowel sound. Tip: Practice the "ə" sound in the first syllable to ensure clarity.
- Incorrect vowel length: Learners might say "re-sults" with a short "e" sound, making it sound like "ri-sults". The correct pronunciation uses a longer "e" as in "ˈre-sults". Tip: Focus on elongating the "e" sound for accuracy.
- Blending syllables: Some speakers might blend the syllables, saying "re-sults" too quickly, which can confuse listeners. Tip: Pronounce each syllable clearly and distinctly to enhance understanding.
