Common mistakes of synergy pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "si-ˈner-gē". This is incorrect. Tip: Remember to stress the first syllable: "ˈsɪn.ər.dʒi".
- Vowel confusion: The first syllable is often mispronounced as "sin" instead of "sɪn". This can lead to misunderstandings. Tip: Practice the short "i" sound like in "sit": "sɪn".
- Overemphasizing the "g": Some people pronounce "synergy" with an exaggerated "g" sound, saying "si-ner-ˈg". This is not standard. Tip: Keep the "g" soft, as in "dʒ", to say "dʒi".
- Dropping the "ə": In fast speech, the schwa sound in the second syllable may be omitted, resulting in "sɪn.ɪr.dʒi". This is incorrect. Tip: Always include the schwa: "ˈsɪn.ər.dʒi".
- Incorrect vowel in the last syllable: Some pronounce the last syllable as "gee" instead of "gē". This alters the meaning. Tip: Ensure the last syllable sounds like "gē" as in "see": "ˈsɪn.ər.dʒi".
