Common mistakes of triage pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "tri-'age" instead of the correct "'tri-age" (ˈtriˌɑːʒ in UK, ˈtriˌæʒ in US). Tip: Focus on emphasizing the first syllable.
- Vowel confusion: A common mistake is mispronouncing the vowel sound, saying "tri-'aeg" instead of "tri-age." The correct sounds are /iː/ in "tri" and /ɑː/ or /æ/ in "age." Tip: Practice the vowel sounds separately for clarity.
- Incorrect syllable count: Some may pronounce "triage" as a three-syllable word, "tri-'a-ge," which is incorrect. The word has two syllables: "tri-age." Tip: Break it down into two distinct syllables when practicing.
- Overemphasizing the final "ge": Learners might overemphasize the "ge" ending, pronouncing it as "tri-'a-ge" with a distinct "g" sound. The correct pronunciation is smoother, akin to "tri-azh." Tip: Listen to native speakers to capture the natural flow.
- Ignoring regional variations: Some may not recognize that "triage" can have different pronunciations in UK and US English. The UK uses /ˈtriː.ɑːʒ/, while the US prefers /ˈtriˌæʒ/. Tip: Familiarize yourself with both variants to enhance understanding.
