Common mistakes of uxorious pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Many people incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "ux-OR-i-ous" instead of "UX-or-i-ous". Tip: Remember the primary stress is on the first syllable, noted as /ˈʌk.sə.ri.əs/ in IPA.
- Vowel confusion: Some may pronounce "uxorious" with a long "u" sound, saying "yoo-kor-i-ous". This is incorrect. Tip: The correct pronunciation uses a short "u" sound, /ʌ/, as in "cup".
- Overemphasizing "r": A common mistake is overemphasizing the "r" sound, leading to "uxor-EE-us". Tip: Keep the "r" subtle and blend it smoothly into the following vowel, as in /ˈʌk.sə.ri.əs/.
- Incorrect syllable count: Some may miscount the syllables, pronouncing it as "uxor-i-ous" with only four syllables. Tip: Remember that "uxorious" has five syllables: /ˈʌk.sə.ri.əs/.
- Neglecting the "x": People might skip or mispronounce the "x", saying "u-sorious". Tip: Ensure to articulate the "x" clearly, as it contributes to the correct pronunciation /ˈʌk.sə.ri.əs/.
