====Stress==== | |||
Stress varies upon the part of speech and the way the word is constructed. | |||
In most, if not all, 2 syllable verbs, when in dictionary form, the stress is on the tense ending. | |||
:"etrej" (to be) = <b>é</b>-trej | |||
:"aštej" (to buy) = aš-<b>téj</b> | |||
For verbs over 2 syllables, the stress is either 2nd to last syllable, or last syllable. | |||
:"sujetej" (to wish (for)) = su-je-<b>téj</b> | |||
Stress in nouns aren't really regular. | |||
Most 2 syllable nouns have the stress on the last syllable. However, most nouns that end with "i" have the stress on the first syllable. | |||
:"mačkon" (house) = mač-<b>kón</b> | |||
:"panać" (bread) = pa-<b>náć</b> | |||
:"valač" (village) = <b>vál</b>-ač (/'vɐlɪt͡ʃ/) | |||
:"livški" (book) = <b>lív</b>-ški (/'livʃkɪ/) | |||
For 3 syllables, the stress is usually on the 2nd syllable. | |||
:"labričnie" (maze) = la-<b>bríč</b>-nie (/la'bʁit͡ʃnje/) | |||
In words having over 3 syllables, the stress is usally on the 2nd to last syllable, but there are exceptions. | |||
Usually, if the number of syllables increase by 1 as a result of the number suffix, the stress is almost always on the 2nd to last syllable. | |||
