A masculine ending.
It means that it has a half-foot at the end, instead of having a more consistent meter. And when it's one stressed syllable, the foot is called "masculine." When a partial foot is one unstressed syllable, it's "feminine."
Iambic pentameterIt is one of many meters used in poetry and drama. It describes a particular rhythm that the words establish in each line. That rhythm is measured in small groups of syllables; these small groups of syllables are called "feet". The word "iambic" describes the type of foot that is used. The word "pentameter" indicates that a line has five of these "feet". When a pair of syllables is arranged as a short followed by a long, or an unstressed followed by a stressed, pattern, that foot is said to be "iambic".
MacDuff said this line.
No Matter What
Macbeth.
Macbeth says it in the play Macbeth, just after hearing the news of his wife's death.
The first syllable is stressed. My fifth-grade teacher didn't say so. I said so.
law, but it's said more like loy
Both syllables are stressed so either way could work! P.S. Thats what my english teacher said! :-)
завтра which is pronounced approximately like ZAF-truh (The capital letters mark the stressed syllable.)
I believe the "yer" part in lawyer is stressed. Try saying lawyer out loud. Which one is said stronger, the "loi" or the "YER"? The "yer" for sure :)
The one that's said louder than the rest. Like SYL-la-ble, or A-MER-i-ca.
Said only has one syllable. This means the whole word is the syllable.
Maryland is said in Spanish: ['me.ɾi.lan][e] as in Italian "essere" (to be)[ɾ] as in USA English "kitten"[i] as in "bee", not a long sound[l] as in "sleep"[a] as in Italian "amare" (to love)['] Stressed syllable[.] Syllable break
Yes it's a closed syllable.
--spond It is said that English is one of the most difficult languages to learn. That is not only because of all of the idioms that English-speaking people use, but also because of all of the different dialects in the United States. English in the United States might better be called "American English." Which syllable to stress in spoken English is often a matter of which part of the country you live in. Words like "correspond," however, are pronounced the same all over the country. The word breaks down to cor-re-spond and comes from the Middle French or Medieval Latin correspondre or correspondere, both of which have their accent on the --spond syllable. It is unfortunate in this age of computers that more care has not been taken in notating pronunciation. On-line dictionaries are not very good at helping people understand which syllable is to be stressed. There is a computer key to use for stressed syllables, and on-line dictionaries should be using it. Too many on-line dictionaries is another problem. Which one to use? The problem is with those dictionaries that remove hyphens between words, so that the word "correct," for example, looks like cor'rect, instead of cor-'rect. The word is cor-'rect, with the emphasis on the second syllable, and the word is cor-re-'spond, with the emphasis on the third syllable.
The 'laun' in laundry would be the stressed syllable, because it's the part of the word you give the most emphasis too. LAUNdry sounds different than if you pronounce it launDRY. It's easier to spot stressed syllables if you try saying the syllable louder than the rest. If it still makes sense, then it's the stressed syllable. For example: Apple aPPLE Saying it incorrectly sounds odd, so that's the unstressed syllable.
There is 1 syllable.
