How to Pronounce “Tired”
Tired (타이어드) is commonly pronounced as /ˈtaɪərd/ in English. It has two syllables and the stress falls on the first syllable.
To pronounce “tired,” follow these steps:
- Start with the “T” sound by lightly touching the tip of your tongue against the back of your upper front teeth.
- Move to the long “I” sound by pulling the sides of your mouth back and slightly raising your tongue in the middle of your mouth.
- For the “R” sound, slightly curl the tip of your tongue up and towards the roof of your mouth.
- Finish with the “D” sound by pressing the tip of your tongue against the back of your upper front teeth and releasing it with a soft sound.
Remember to keep the pronunciation smooth and natural. Practice saying “tired” aloud to improve your pronunciation.
Note: The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) transcription /ˈtaɪərd/ is used to represent the sounds of words without ambiguity.
