How to Pronounce Recognize
Pronouncing "Recognize": Step-by-Step Guide
Break into syllables: The word "recognize" is split into three parts: "rec", "og", and "nize".
First syllable "rec": Pronounce it like "wreck" without the "w". Say rek with a strong, clear sound.
Second syllable "og": This part is soft and quick. It sounds like a light uhg or simply an unstressed uh sound.
Third syllable "nize": This sounds like the word "eyes" with an n at the start. Pronounce it as nize, rhyming with "size".
Putting it together: Slowly pronounce the syllables as rek-uh-nize. Begin by saying each part clearly, then connect them smoothly.
Practice tip: Repeat "rek-uh-nize" several times to build muscle memory and get comfortable with the flow. Listening to native speakers can also help improve your pronunciation.
Key points:
The first syllable rek is the strongest.
The middle syllable is quick and soft.
The ending nize rhymes with "eyes".
