maybe i didn't make myself understood. what i want to know is that which syllable should be accentuated when i try to pronounce a turkish word. for example, all french words, the last syllable will be accentuated.
thanks a lot.

Qdemir's lessons in the 'Learn Turkish' section usually tell you where to put the stress for pronunciation. For example, here is his lesson on the aorist tense: aorist
You can find his other lessons here

Turkish is a language which sounds very monoton (monoton but in a good way  ) because the syllables are usually equally accentuated. It's a problem for me who is a french learner because I do speak french like turkish without making any stress, but I think the french sounds better my way
