How to Pronounce “Message”
To start off, let’s clarify the pronunciation of the word “message.” This word has two syllables and is pronounced as follows:
- First, emphasize the “M” sound at the beginning, which is made by pressing your lips together.
- Next, pronounce the “EH” sound found in words like “bed” or “pen.”
- Finally, conclude with the “SS-ihj” sound made by blending the letter “S” with the short “ih” vowel sound and the soft “j” sound found in words like “joy” or “jam.”
Putting it all together, the word “message” is pronounced as “MEH-ss-ihj.”
Remember to stress the first syllable slightly more than the second.
