- 1. If you know how to pronounce the word, say it out loud. You will say the accented syllable a little louder than the other ones. Example: SYL-luh-bull
2. If you do not know the word, look in the dictionary. It will show the accented syllable either the way I did above, by capitalizing that syllable, or by putting an accent mark (') after it. Example: syl' uh bull
2 you would also look on other internet sites but only if you think ours isn't giving enough details about your question,but ours is far the best.
