Proper Pronunciation Guide
mediocre
[mi di![]()
o͜u kɚ]
Tips:
- Pronounce the letter “e” in the frist syllable and the letter “i” in the second syllable both like the name of the letter “e”—/i/—like the first two syllables in the word “medium.”
- Pronounce the letter “o” like the name of the letter itself—/o͜u/—and stress it.
- Use the y-like consonant glide /j/ to link from the second to the third syllable—from/i/ to/o͜u/.
- Pronounce the final letters “re” as the weak R-Vowel /ɚ/ —the same as if the letters were spelled “er.”
Practice Sentence:
| This wine is mediocre. |
Definition:
(adjective) Just average or barely adequate.
