Common Mispronunciations of Trinity
Not TRY-nuh-tee
Keep the opening i short, as trip and trim do. Trident is the word in this family that lengthens it.
Not tri-NI-tee
TRI opens loud, and the two beats behind it are both colourless. Infinity has the opposite shape, which is why the two rhythms get mixed.
Tip: Three beats, TRI-nuh-tee. The middle vowel is a weak uh even though the spelling shows an i.
