Common mistakes of stamina pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Many people incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "sta-MI-na" /stəˈmɪnə/. Tip: Remember to stress the first syllable, saying "STAM-i-na" /ˈstæmɪnə/.
- Vowel confusion: Some learners may pronounce the first vowel as "a" in "cat," leading to "stamina" sounding like "stam-ina." Tip: The first vowel should sound like "a" in "father," so say "STAM-i-na."
- Dropping the final "a": It's common to hear "stamin" instead of "stamina." Tip: Always pronounce the final "a" clearly to maintain the word's integrity, saying "STAM-i-na."
- Incorrect vowel length: Some might shorten the second syllable, resulting in "stam-uh-na." Tip: Ensure the second syllable is pronounced as "i" in "sit," keeping it distinct in "STAM-i-na."
- Mispronouncing "m": A few may say "stah-nina," replacing the "m" with "n." Tip: Make sure to pronounce the "m" clearly, as in "man," to say "STAM-i-na" correctly.
