catsoldier 62 | 595 28 Feb 2012 #1How do you stress the 2nd last sylable when speaking Polish?Does put stress on a sylable in the Polish language mean saying this sylable louder or making it longer etc.?For example when saying:DziewczynpięćdziesiątmężczyznThanks.
gumishu 13 | 6,138 28 Feb 2012 #2normally it's just louder - some eastern dialect have it also longer which is called 'zaciąganie' in colloquial Polish - some older people who came to the western Poland from present day Ukraine and Belarus also speak that way (as they speak 'kresowe' dialects)
pawian 224 | 24,458 28 Feb 2012 #3Does put stress on a sylable in the Polish language mean saying this sylable louder or making it longer etc.?Personally, neither. I utter accented syllables more distinctly, that`s all.PS. By distinctly I mean clearly.
