Common mistakes of troglodyte pronunciation

Misplacing stress: Some may incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "trog-ˈlo-dyte" instead of the correct "ˈtrog-lə-ˌdīte". Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the first syllable.
Incorrect vowel sounds: People often mispronounce the "o" as in "hot" rather than the correct sound as in "go". In "troglodyte", it should be pronounced as "trog" with a long "o" sound. Tip: Focus on the "o" sounding like "oh".
Overemphasizing the "g": Some may pronounce "g" too harshly, saying "trogg-lodyte". The correct pronunciation is softer, as in "trog". Tip: Keep the "g" gentle and smooth.
Ignoring the schwa: Many forget the schwa sound in the second syllable, pronouncing it as "troglodyte" instead of "trog-lə-ˌdīte". Tip: Practice the "lə" sound to maintain the rhythm of the word.
Ending with a hard "t": Some might pronounce the last syllable with a hard "t", saying "dite" instead of the correct "dīte". Tip: Make sure the last syllable has a long "i" sound, as in "dye".
