Common mistakes of tbilisi pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Many people incorrectly stress the first syllable, saying "TBI-lisi" instead of the correct "tbi-ˈliː-si". Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the last syllable.
- Overpronouncing vowels: Some learners overemphasize the "i" sounds, making it sound like "tbi-lee-see". This is incorrect. Tip: Focus on a smoother transition between the syllables, keeping them short and connected.
- Ignoring the "t": A common mistake is to drop the initial "t" sound, pronouncing it as "bilisi". This changes the word entirely. Tip: Ensure you start with a clear "t" sound, as in "t" followed by "b".
- Confusing with similar words: Some may confuse "tbilisi" with "Tbilisi" from other languages or regions, mispronouncing it as "tbi-ˈlɪs" (with a short "i"). Tip: Remember the correct IPA is /tbiˈliːsi/ for both US and UK pronunciations.
- Mispronouncing the final "i": Learners often pronounce the last "i" like "ee", saying "tbil-EE-see". This is incorrect. Tip: The final "i" should be pronounced as a short "i", similar to "sit".
