Intonation


 * Below You have some tips will help you to sound like you were born in Italy: **


 * 1) Usually, Italian words are stressed on the next-to-the-last syllable.
 * 2) When the final -e is dropped from a word, as happens with some masculine titles when they are directly followed by a proper name, the position of the stress remains unchanged.
 * 3) Following the above rule, dottore (**doctor**) becomes dottor Nardi/Doctor Nardi and professore (**professor**) becomes professor Pace/Professor Pace.
 * 4) When words are stressed on the last vowel, they always have a written accent over that vowel. For instance, cioè (**namely**) and città (**city**).
