To pronounce “mitigation,” divide it into syllables: “mi-tig-a-tion.” The stress falls on the third syllable, “tig.” For the first syllable, pronounce “mi” as in “mitten.” For the second syllable, say “tig” with a short “i” sound. The third syllable, “a,” is pronounced like the “a” in “apple.” Finally, the fourth syllable, “tion,” is pronounced as in “station.”
