What syllable do you accent when the word have five syllables?

You're asking about the stress pattern in five-syllable words. There isn't a single "correct" answer because it depends on the specific word.

Here are some common patterns:

* Stress on the first syllable: `Ac`centuate, `Con`stituency

* Stress on the second syllable: `In`terpret, `Re`naissance

* Stress on the third syllable: `Ex`traordinary, `Com`munication

* Stress on the fourth syllable: `In`terpreta**`tion` (note: the 'tion' is considered one syllable)

* Stress on the fifth syllable: This pattern is less common, but it can occur.

Examples:

* `In`terpre`ta``tion`

* `Ex`tra`or``di`**`nary`

To determine the stress pattern, you can:

* Consult a dictionary: Most dictionaries will indicate the stressed syllable with a raised mark (').

* Listen to native speakers: Pay attention to how they pronounce the word.

* Look for patterns: Some word families tend to have consistent stress patterns.
