Common mistakes of solidarity pronunciation

  1. Misplacing the stress: Some may incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "so-li-ˈdar-i-ty". Tip: Remember to stress the third syllable, "so-li-ˌDAR-i-ty", to sound natural.
  2. Overemphasizing the "o": Many learners pronounce "solidarity" with a strong "o" sound, like "saw-lidarity". Tip: Use a softer "o" sound, as in "ˌsɒl-ɪ-ˈdær-ɪ-ti" (UK) or "ˌsɑː-lɪ-ˈdær-ɪ-ti" (US).
  3. Ignoring the "d": Some might omit the "d" sound, saying "so-li-ar-i-ty". Tip: Ensure you pronounce the "d" clearly, as in "so-li-ˌDAR-i-ty", to maintain clarity.
  4. Mispronouncing the final "ity": Learners may pronounce it as "ity" with a long "e" sound, like "e-tee". Tip: Use a short "i" sound, as in "ˌɪ-ti", to correctly articulate "solidarity".
  5. Skipping the "t" sound: Some may pronounce it as "so-li-dar-i-y". Tip: Always include the "t" sound, saying "so-li-ˌDAR-i-ty", to ensure proper pronunciation.
