I hope I haven´t asked this before:  is the stress on the 2nd or 3rd syllable?

 

Teşekkürederim!

The stress is here in 3rd syllable

 

gidelim

I don´t get this stress thing a lot, but in my opinion in "gidelim", there is an equal stress on the first and last sllyable while -de has a less stress on it.

I am not sure, I guess it depends on your "excitement", but it is generally at the last syllabel "-lım/-lim"

 

gidelim

gelelim

oturalım

açalım

vuralım

 

When I focus on these examples, I feel only the last syllabel stress

Maybe it depends on whereabouts in the country you come from how you stress some words - all I can say is that the people where I live tend to stress the first syllable!  It´s the same in the UK - people from the North of England will stress some words differently to people in the South - and I´m sure it´s the same with every language.

I saw somewhere that in turkish the stress on nouns are usually on the last sllyable but for the verbs it becomes complexed.

I saw somewhere that in turkish the stress on nouns are usually on the last sllyable but for the verbs it becomes complexed.

 

 Furthermore, I understand that the stress on all words in isolation is on the final syllable (exception: the names of cities).  Then, when adding elements some are stressed, some are not. 

Bende = at my house, ´de´ is stressed

Ben de gidiyorum = also, ´de´ is not stressed

 

yazmak, yazma, yazıyor, yaziyorum
