Where does the accent go? Never in the middle of the word . The Italian language, unlike others, places the accent of words almost everywhere - in this case I mean the accent in pronunciation - but in the written form it should only be placed in the last vowel and not always. Yet there are those who persist in inserting accents here and there, decorating their writings with useless symbols and also making reading more difficult and less fluent. Yes, I confess, when I see an accent in the middle of the word I slow down reading. It messes everything up for me. We are not used to seeing accents in the middle of words.
We are not reading a passage in ancient Greek, which is full of apostrophes and accents and underwritten iotas, we are reading Italian. Know-it-all mistakes But let's move on to practical examples, which I have recently found in some books I have read. Task There are two identical words, but with different pronunciation: task: what we did reluctantly at Phone Number Data school task: like that very polite and polite guy Now explain to me how it is possible to confuse the two terms. Let's take two examples: Caesar entrusted a task to his trusted centurion. The professor was a polite, elegant, severe man. In the first case it is a noun, in the second an adjective.
Harm Voice of the verb dare , which never wants the accent except in the third person singular of the present indicative. Even in this case the confusion seems impossible to me: we have a verb and a noun. You cannot confuse the verb "damage" with the "damage" you do if you break glass. Intuition But why is there anyone who pronounces this intuited word ? I drop a pitiful veil and move on to the next pedantic accent. Mania Does mania exist ? Another pitiful veil to drop. Half Another case of two identical words, but with different pronunciations: half half But there is no need to write mèta , because the other word has the accent on the final vowel, half , precisely to differentiate itself. If I find the other half of the apple, I have reached my goal. It is not an autobiographical phrase, but just a clarifying example.
