5 step guide βΉοΈ
π£ Step 1: Break it Down
To master the pronunciation of "definitely," let's start by breaking it down into syllables. The word is divided into four syllables: "def-i-nite-ly", (sounds like dehΒ·fuhΒ·nuhtΒ·lee).
π΅ Step 2: Stress on the Right Syllable
The primary stress in "definitely" falls on the second syllable, "nite." Make sure to emphasise this syllable when saying the word!
π’ Step 3: Pronounce Each Syllable Clearly
Now, let's focus on each syllable individually:
"Def" sounds like "deff" with a short "e" sound.
"i" sounds like the "i" in "sit."
"nite" sounds like "night," with a long "i" sound.
"ly" sounds like "lee."
π΄ Step 4: Smooth Transition
When saying the word in its entirety, ensure a smooth transition between each syllable. Avoid rushing through or blending the syllables together.
π‘ Step 5: Practice Makes Perfect
Repetition is key to mastering pronunciation. Practice saying "definitely" slowly and gradually increase your speed as you become more comfortable with each syllable.
