What does it mean for a syllable to be stressed?

Answer 1

stressed syllables are the syllables within a word that have the most emphasis when spoken

for example:

other - the syllable "oth" is stressed and the syllable "er" is not because "er" is pronounced less that "oth"

the "er" tends to sound as if it were falling away at the end of the word

compound words tend to be double stressed because both syllables are pronounced equally

for example

childhood- both "child" and "hood" are pronounced fully

you can tell which syllable is stressed by saying the word naturally
In words of two syllables or more, at least one of the syllables is usually pronounced with extra emphasis. We can divide syllables into stressed and unstressed categories.
