Common mistakes of revenue pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some learners place stress on the second syllable, pronouncing it as "rev-ˈe-nue". This is incorrect. The correct stress is on the first syllable: "ˈrɛv.ə.nu" (US) and "ˈrɛv.ən.ju" (UK). Tip: Remember to emphasize the "rev" part.
- Ignoring the schwa sound: The second syllable is often mispronounced, with some saying "rev-en-ˈyoo". The correct pronunciation includes a schwa sound: "ə" in "ˈrɛv.ə.nu" (US) and "ˈrɛv.ən.ju" (UK). Tip: Practice the unstressed vowel sound to improve clarity.
- Overemphasizing the final syllable: Some people pronounce "revenue" with too much emphasis on the last syllable, saying "rev-en-ue". The last syllable should be lighter: "ˈrɛv.ə.nu" (US) and "ˈrɛv.ən.ju" (UK). Tip: Focus on a softer ending to avoid overemphasis.
- Mispronouncing the vowel sounds: Learners might say "rev-in-ue" instead of "revenue". The correct vowels are "ɛ" and "ə" in "ˈrɛv.ə.nu" (US) and "ˈrɛv.ən.ju" (UK). Tip: Listen to native speakers to hear the correct vowel sounds.
- Confusing with similar words: Some confuse "revenue" with "revenant" or "revenue" with "revue". While "revenue" is pronounced "ˈrɛv.ə.nu" (US) and "ˈrɛv.ən.ju" (UK), the others have different stress patterns and syllable structures. Tip: Pay attention to context and pronunciation to differentiate these words.
