Common mistakes of tacitly pronunciation

Stress placement: Many people incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "ta-CIT-ly" instead of the correct "TAC-it-ly" (ˈtæs.ɪt.li). Tip: Focus on the first syllable to get the stress right.
Vowel sound confusion: Some pronounce "tacitly" with a long "a" sound, saying "tay-sit-ly" instead of the correct "TAC-it-ly" (ˈtæs.ɪt.li). Tip: Remember that the "a" in "tacitly" is short, like in "cat."
Overemphasizing the "t": A common mistake is to over-articulate the "t" sound, making it sound like "tac-it-lee." The correct pronunciation is smoother: "TAC-it-ly" (ˈtæs.ɪt.li). Tip: Keep your pronunciation fluid and natural.
Mispronouncing the "c": Some speakers pronounce the "c" as "s," saying "tas-it-ly." The correct sound is a hard "c," as in "cat": "TAC-it-ly" (ˈtæs.ɪt.li). Tip: Practice saying "cat" to reinforce the hard "c" sound.
Incorrect syllable count: People sometimes say "tacitely" with three syllables, like "ta-ci-tly," instead of the correct two: "TAC-it-ly" (ˈtæs.ɪt.li). Tip: Break it down into two clear syllables to avoid confusion.
