What are words stressed in the third syllable?

It's tricky to give you a list of words stressed on the third syllable because it depends on the word and its context. The stress can shift based on whether it's a noun, verb, adjective, etc.

Here's how to find words stressed on the third syllable:

1. Look for words with three or more syllables. Words with only one or two syllables can't be stressed on the third syllable.

2. Listen to how the word is pronounced. You can usually hear the stressed syllable. The stressed syllable is pronounced louder and clearer than the others.

3. Check a dictionary. Dictionaries often show the stress pattern of words. They may use a symbol like an apostrophe (') to indicate the stressed syllable.

Examples of words stressed on the third syllable:

* Un'der'stand'ing (noun)

* Re'mem'ber'ing (verb)

* Elec'tri'cian (noun)

* In'ter'na'tional (adjective)

* Uni'ver'sity (noun)

Important Note: Some words have alternate pronunciations and stress patterns.
