What’s The Stress on ‘Entrepreneur’?

Print E-mail

Locally, this word is commonly pronounced as ‘entrePREneur’.

The correct pronunciation should be ‘entrepreNEUR’.

That is, the stress is on the last syllable ‘neur’. And when you say ‘neur’ it should rhyme with the word ‘nurture’ not ‘near’.

  • Many Singaporeans are now choosing the more challenging career of becoming entrepreneurs instead of taking on stable salaried jobs.

Listen to this podcast to get the pronunciation right.
