Common mistakes of thunderous pronunciation
- Incorrect vowel sound: Many learners pronounce "thunderous" with an incorrect vowel sound, saying "thun-der-ous" instead of the correct "ˈθʌn.dər.əs" in US English and "ˈθʌn.dər.əs" in UK English. Tip: Focus on the schwa sound in the second syllable.
- Misplaced stress: Some people place stress on the second syllable, saying "thun-ˈder-ous." The correct stress is on the first syllable: "ˈθʌn.dər.əs." Tip: Remember that the primary stress is always on the first syllable in this word.
- Overemphasis on "ous": Learners often overemphasize the "ous" ending, making it sound like "thunder-ROUS." The correct pronunciation is "ˈθʌn.dər.əs," with a softer ending. Tip: Practice saying the word slowly to ensure a smooth transition into the final syllable.
- Dropping the "d": Some may drop the "d" sound, pronouncing it as "thun-er-ous." The "d" is essential in the correct pronunciation "ˈθʌn.dər.əs." Tip: Make sure to articulate the "d" clearly to maintain the integrity of the word.
- Confusing with "thunderous": A common mistake is confusing "thunderous" with "thunderous," which has a different meaning. Ensure clarity in context and pronunciation. Tip: Use "thunderous" to describe something loud and powerful, and practice the correct pronunciation to avoid confusion.
