Common mistakes of vitiligo pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Many people incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "vit-il-'I-go." The correct pronunciation places the primary stress on the third syllable: /ˌvɪt.ɪˈlaɪ.ɡoʊ/ (US) and /ˌvɪt.ɪˈlaɪ.ɡəʊ/ (UK). Tip: Emphasize the "la" in "vitiligo."
- Ignoring the vowel sounds: Some learners pronounce "vitiligo" with a flat "i" sound, resulting in "vit-ih-'I-go." The "i" in the first syllable should sound like "ih," not "ee." Tip: Practice the "ih" sound as in "bit" for clarity.
- Overemphasizing the "t": A common mistake is to pronounce the "t" too strongly, leading to "vi-'ti-ligo." The "t" should be softer, almost blending with the surrounding sounds. Tip: Keep the "t" light and fluid in "vitiligo."
- Mispronouncing the final vowel: Some people say "vitiligo" with a long "o," like "vit-il-'I-go." The final "o" should be pronounced as a short "o" sound. Tip: Listen for the quick "o" in "go" to get it right.
- Skipping syllables: A frequent error is to reduce "vitiligo" to two syllables, saying "vit-'li-go." This omission alters the word's integrity. Tip: Ensure you pronounce all three syllables clearly: "vit-il-i-go."
