Common mistakes of tithe pronunciation

Misplacing the vowel sound: Some people pronounce "tithe" as "tith" (/taɪθ/), missing the correct long "i" sound. Tip: Focus on the "i" as in "high" to ensure clarity.
Incorrect stress: A common mistake is stressing the second syllable, saying "ti-the" instead of the correct single-syllable "tithe" (/taɪð/). Tip: Practice emphasizing the whole word as a single unit.
Confusing with "tithes": Many confuse "tithe" with "tithes" (/taɪðz/), adding an unnecessary "z" sound at the end. Tip: Remember "tithe" ends with a soft "th" sound, not a "z."
Overemphasizing the "th": Some speakers pronounce "tithe" with a heavy "th" sound, making it sound like "tithe" (/θaɪð/). Tip: Keep the "th" soft and light, similar to "the."
Using a short vowel sound: A mistake is pronouncing "tithe" with a short "i" sound, like "tith" (/tɪθ/). Tip: Ensure the "i" sounds long, as in "kite," to get the pronunciation right.
