Where should you put the stress mark in a word?

It's impossible to tell you where to put a stress mark in a word without knowing which word you're talking about!

Here's why:

* Stress is language-specific: Different languages have different rules for word stress. For example, English typically stresses the first syllable, while Spanish stresses the last syllable.

* Stress can change: Even within the same language, the stress pattern of a word can change based on its part of speech or context. For example, the word "record" can be stressed on the first syllable as a noun (RE-cord) or on the second syllable as a verb (re-CORD).
