Examples of words with stress on the fourth syllable?

It's quite rare for a word in English to have stress on the fourth syllable. This usually occurs in longer, multisyllabic words, often of Latin or Greek origin. Here are a few examples:

Words with stress on the fourth syllable:

* Individu**al

* Representa**tion

* Communica**tion

* Execution

* Regulation

* Educa**tion

* Organiza**tion

* Consolida**tion

* Interpreta**tion

* Investiga**tion

Note:

* The stress pattern can change depending on the part of speech or context. For example, the word "individual" can be stressed on the third syllable when used as an adjective, e.g., "an individual decision".

* Some words may have a secondary stress on the second syllable. For example, "regulation" can be pronounced with a slight stress on the second syllable.

It is always helpful to consult a dictionary to confirm the correct stress pattern for a specific word.
