Common Mispronunciations of Suites
Not SOOTS
The ui carries a w sound, so the word begins sw. Without it, suites collapses into suits.
Not SWEE-tuhz
The plural s attaches directly to the t. It does not open a syllable of its own after a t sound.
Tip: Suite is said exactly like sweet. Suit, the garment, is soot. The spellings give no help at all.
