    Most two-syllable verbs have stress on the second syllable, while most two-syllable nouns and adjectives have stress on the first syllable. Some words can function as both nouns and verbs. Certain suffixes, such as -ade, -oon, -eer, and -ette typically receive stress when added to words. Two-syllable words ending in -fy, -ise, or -ate are stressed on the second syllable, while longer words ending in those suffixes are stressed on the third syllable from the end.
