Common mistakes of rhinitis pronunciation

  1. Misplacing stress: Some learners stress the second syllable, saying "rhi-NI-tis" instead of the correct stress on the third syllable, "rhi-NI-tis" (ˌraɪˈnaɪtɪs). Tip: Focus on placing the primary stress on "NI".
  2. Incorrect vowel sounds: Pronouncing "rhinitis" with an "e" sound as in "red" can lead to confusion. The correct pronunciation uses the long "i" sound, as in "eye" (ˈraɪ). Tip: Practice saying "eye" to get the vowel sound right.
  3. Overemphasizing "r": Some speakers may pronounce the "r" too strongly, making it sound like "arhinitis". The correct pronunciation has a softer "r" sound. Tip: Relax your tongue when saying "r" to keep it subtle.
  4. Omitting the "h": A common mistake is dropping the "h" sound, leading to "rinitis". The "h" is essential for the correct pronunciation "rhinitis" (ˈraɪˈnaɪtɪs). Tip: Make sure to pronounce the "h" clearly at the beginning.
  5. Mispronouncing the final "tis": Some might say "rhinitis" with a short "i" in the last syllable. The correct pronunciation has a clear "i" sound as in "it" (ˈtɪs). Tip: Practice the ending by emphasizing "tis" to ensure clarity.
