Are these all pronounced exactly the same way?

[-] boredtortoise@lemm.ee 25 points 2 years ago

Actually yes. You can stress out some syllables to say YOUR moon is burning and such but it doesn't help a lot. Context matters

[-] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 years ago

Yep. Or maybe you could say that they have a teeny tiny difference, but it's barely noticeable if you aren't listening very closely.

[-] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago

Most likely not, I expect it's the same as what you can do in English, put the stress on different places in a sentence to give different meaning.

They all actually sound quite the same. Some syllables can be stressed to highlight parts of the sentences. YOUR moon vs your MOON

Finnish people gets this imprinted from birth, other people thinks "How can this work? 🤨"

I had some Scandinavian colleagues joke with me about how their languages have these melodic intonations and we speak everything in monotone and they can't wrap their heads around it.
