Common Mispronunciations of Gigantic
Not gy-GAN-tik
The first g goes soft before an i, giving jy. The second one, standing before an a, stays hard.
Not JI-gan-tik
The middle beat takes the force, GAN, with a light jy in front of it.
Tip: Only the first g softens: jy-GAN-tik, so the two g letters in the word sound different.
