You can pronounce every sound in a word perfectly and still not be understood — if the stress is on the wrong syllable. Native listeners recognise words by their shape first: which syllable is loud, long and high.
Say deSERT instead of DEsert and you have changed the word. Say comFORtable and people will need a second to decode it.
Benetan zer da azentua
A stressed syllable is:
- altuago,
- luzeago,
- tonu altuago,
- eta ahots oso, garbi du — inguruko silabak sarritan
/ə/schwa-ra ahultzen dira.
Hitz gehienak estaltzen dituzten ereduak
Ingeleseko azentua ez da ausazkoa. Araua hauek ez dira perfektuak, baina askoz gehiago egokiak dira asmatzea baino:
| Eredua | Adibideak |
|---|---|
| Bi silabako izenak eta adjektiboak lehen silaba azentu | TAble, HAPpy, WINdow |
| Bi silabako aditzak bigarren silaba azentu | beGIN, reLAX, deCIDE |
| Hitz bera, izena vs aditz | a REcord / to reCORD, a PREsent / to preSENT |
| -tion, -sion, -ic amaieran amaitutako hitzak aurreko silaba azentu | inforMAtion, deCIsion, enerGEtic |
| -ity, -graphy, -logy amaieran amaitutako hitzak amaieratik hirugarren silaba azentu | possiBIlity, phoTOgraphy, biOlogy |
Ikusi azentua nola aldatzen den
The same root changes its stress as the ending changes:
- PHOtograph → phoTOgrapher → photoGRAphic
- eCOnomy → ecoNOmic
- Educate → eduCAtion
Nola praktikatzen den azentua
- Eskatu edo mahaian kolpe egin azentua duen silaban hitza esaten duzun bitartean.
- Goratu: egin bi aldiz luzeago naturala dena baino.
- Gero, beste silabak isil eta azkarrak izan daitezela utzi.
In HolosAccent you listen to a native reference of every phrase first, then record your own take and replay the two side by side. Hearing your PHOtograph next to the native one is the fastest way to notice when the beat lands in the wrong place.
