everyone Jennifer from Tarle speech with your pronunciation question I have
a very long list of words today how do you pronounce majority identity activity
curiosity humidity ability and stability lots of words we're going to tackle this
by looking at that suffix the I T Y suffix Iactually did a video on this last
year and so when you see the suffix ity you're going to say Adee Adee short uh
sound and then D that de syllable is going to be longer so again we're going
to say Adee what gets confusing for people
is in the longer words your stress is going to shift to the syllable right
before the uh so you're going to have majority identity activity curiosity and
humidity when we have this I L ity which is a common spelling pattern that we see
in words you are going to stress the word bill so we're gonna have a schwa bill
schwa D a Bill adee a bill uh Dee so we have ability and stability so let's try
all those words majority identity activity curiosity humidity ability and
stability so give it a try people are going to notice the difference if you
