How to Pronounce Giant
How to Pronounce "Giant"
Syllable Breakdown: The word "giant" can be split into two parts: the first syllable "jai" and the second syllable "ənt".
First Syllable "jai":
The sound starts with /dʒ/ – this is like the sound at the beginning of the word "juice" or "joke".
The next sound is the long "i" as in "eye" or "fly". Combine these to say "jai" (rhyming with "high" but starting with a "j" sound).
Second Syllable "ənt":
Begin with a soft sound "uh" represented by /ə/ – the same sound as the beginning of "about".
End with a gentle "nt" where the "n" is clear and the "t" is pronounced lightly.
Stress: The stress is on the first syllable "jai". This means you say "jai" a bit louder and with more emphasis than "ənt".
Putting It Together: Say "jai" (with a /dʒ/ sound followed by a long "i") and then quickly add "ənt" (with a soft "uh" and a light "nt"), making sure the first syllable is stronger.
Practice Tip: Repeat slowly at first: "jai-ənt". Then say it more naturally, maintaining the stress on the first part.
