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.

What stress actually is

A stressed syllable is:

  • louder,
  • longer,
  • higher in pitch,
  • and has a full, clear vowel — while the syllables around it often weaken to a schwa /ə/.

Patterns that cover most words

English stress is not random. These rules are not perfect, but they are right far more often than guessing:

Үлгү Мисалдар
Эки слогдуу nouns and adjectives‘те биринчи слогго басым коюлат TAble, HAPpy, WINdow
Эки слогдуу verbs‘те экинчи слогго басым коюлат beGIN, reLAX, deCIDE
Бир сөз, заттык vs кылым a REcord / to reCORD, a PREsent / to preSENT
-tion, -sion, -ic менен аяктагандарда алдындагы слогго басым коюлат inforMAtion, deCIsion, enerGEtic
-ity, -graphy, -logy менен аяктагандарда акыркыдан үчүнчү слогго басым коюлат possiBIlity, phoTOgraphy, biOlogy

Watch the stress move

The same root changes its stress as the ending changes:

  • PHOtograph → phoTOgrapher → photoGRAphic
  • eCOnomy → ecoNOmic
  • Educate → eduCAtion

How to practise stress

  1. Clap or tap the table on the stressed syllable while you say the word.
  2. Exaggerate: make it twice as long as feels natural.
  3. Then let the other syllables go quiet and quick.
