Common mistakes of unsuitable pronunciation
- Stress placement: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "un-SUIT-able". The correct stress is on the first syllable: ˈʌn.suː.tə.bəl. Tip: Focus on saying "UN-suitable" to emphasize the first syllable.
- Vowel sound confusion: Some might pronounce "unsuitable" with a short "u" sound, saying "unsit-uh-bul". The correct pronunciation has a long "u" sound, as in "suit": ˈʌn.suː.tə.bəl. Tip: Practice saying "suit" to get the "u" sound right.
- Ending syllable mispronunciation: A common mistake is to pronounce the last syllable as "blee" instead of "bəl". The correct ending is /bəl/ in both US and UK English. Tip: Remember that "unsuitable" ends softly, as in "table".
- Overemphasizing syllables: Some may overemphasize the second syllable, making it sound like "unsuit-AH-ble". The correct pronunciation is more balanced: ˈʌn.suː.tə.bəl. Tip: Keep all syllables light and even when pronouncing "unsuitable".
- Incorrect vowel length: Learners sometimes shorten the vowel sound in the first syllable, pronouncing it as "un-sit-uh-bul". The correct first syllable should have a clear "ʌ" sound: ˈʌn.suː.tə.bəl. Tip: Pay attention to the vowel length for clarity in "unsuitable".
