Common mistakes of urinary pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "urinary" as /ˌjʊəˈrɪnəri/. The correct stress is on the first syllable: /ˈjʊərɪnəri/. Tip: Practice saying "UR-in-ary" with emphasis on "UR".
- Omitting syllables: Some may pronounce "urinary" as /ˈjʊərnəri/, dropping the middle syllable. This can lead to confusion. Tip: Break it down into three clear syllables: "UR-in-ar-y".
- Incorrect vowel sounds: Learners might use the wrong vowel sound, pronouncing "urinary" as /ˈjʊrɪnəri/ instead of /ˈjʊərɪnəri/. The "u" should sound like "you". Tip: Focus on the "u" as in "you" when practicing.
- Blending sounds: Some people blend the "n" and "a" sounds, saying "urinary" as /ˈjʊərɪnri/. This can make it hard to understand. Tip: Clearly enunciate the "n" and "a" sounds separately.
- Confusing with similar words: Learners may confuse "urinary" with "urine", leading to mispronunciation. "Urinary" has three syllables, while "urine" has two. Tip: Always remember to articulate all three syllables in "urinary".
