Common mistakes of vehement pronunciation
- Stress placement: Many people incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "ve-HE-ment" instead of the correct "VE-he-ment" (ˈviːhəmənt). Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the first syllable.
- Vowel sound confusion: Some mispronounce the first syllable as "veh" instead of "vee." This leads to saying "veh-he-ment" instead of "vee-he-ment." Tip: Focus on the long "e" sound in "vehement."
- Syllable count: A common mistake is to pronounce "vehement" with three syllables, saying "ve-he-ment." The correct pronunciation has only three syllables: "VE-he-ment." Tip: Break it down into "VE" + "he" + "ment" to keep the syllables clear.
- Final "t" sound: Some speakers drop the final "t," saying "vehemen" instead of "vehement" (ˈviːhəmənt). Tip: Always pronounce the "t" at the end to maintain clarity in your speech.
- Mispronouncing "h": Occasionally, people may sound the "h" too strongly, leading to "veh-e-ment" instead of the correct "vehement." Tip: The "h" should be soft and blend smoothly with the preceding vowel.
