Question



'Exist' is transcribed as:

A.

/egjhist/

B.

/egzɪest/

C.

/egzɪst/

D.

/ɪgˈzɪst/

Correct option is D


The transcription /ɪgˈzɪst/ accurately represents the word 'exist' in English. The first syllable uses the vowel /ɪ/ (as in "bit"), and the primary stress is on the second syllable /zɪst/.
Information Booster:
1. Phonetic structure: Two syllables, with stress on the second syllable.
2. Prefix 'ex': Pronounced /ɪg/ instead of /eg/ due to assimilation.
3. Stress pattern: Stress on the root "zist," reflecting its significance.
4. Common mistakes: Mispronunciation as /eg-zist/ or /eks-ist/.
5. Usage: Often used in philosophical or existential contexts.
