葡萄牙语单词重音和重音符号

如果您关心葡萄牙语发音并想学好它,您需要掌握其单词重音模式。就是这样。

简而言之,葡萄牙语单词重音如下: 

Portuguese words without accent marks are stressed on the last or next-to-last syllable according to a few spelling patterns.  Otherwise, words are marked with an accent mark to indicate where word stress falls (either on the last, next-to-last, or third-from-last syllable). 

与英语一样,葡萄牙语是一种重音计时语言(与音节重音语言相反)。在重音计时语言中,重读音节之间的时间间隔相当一致。这导致非重读音节的缩短和减少,以便它们能够适应重读音节设定的相对固定的时间间隔。 

As a result, unstressed syllables are pronounced less clearly, whereas stressed syllables stand out. Thus, word stress in Portuguese is conspicuous and you can clearly hear it. Read on.

1. 默认情况下 – 没有重音符号

没有任何重音符号,葡萄牙语单词通常在倒数第二个音节或最后一个音节上重读。让我们仔细看看它。 

倒数第二个音节上的单词重音

最常见的是,葡萄牙语单词的重音位于倒数第二个音节上。这里有一些例子:

0:00
  • momento > mo-men-to (moment)
  • peludo > pe-lu-do (hairy)
  • vezes > ve-zes (times)
  • diabo > di-a-bo (devil)
  • bastante> bas-tan-te (quite)
  • Carlos > Car-los (Carlos)
  • carente > ca-ren-te (needy)
  • . . .

单词重音在最后一个音节

然而,以某些辅音、元音和双元音结尾的单词在最后一个单词上重读。让我们看看这个类别的不同子组。 

以 -r、-l 或 -z 结尾的单词

以辅音结尾的单词 -r, -l or -z 重音在最后一个音节:

0:00
  • falar > fa-lar (talk)
  • beber > be-ber (drink)
  • anel > a-nel (ring)
  • tamboril > tam-bo-ril (monkfish)
  • rapaz > ra-paz (boy)
  • capuz > capuz (hood)
  • . . .
