Excellent. This is the only explanation of the stress I've found. Really useful.

Nice video, Hvala Alja. I am learning Slovenian language. This video was helpful to me.

Hi Dann! 👋 This makes me really happy to hear! 😃 (And I am sorry for replying back late! I only see the comment now! Not sure how is this possible!)

[@Polstiuk]

What I noticed is that the stress almost always goes on root of the word and the position of the stress doesn't change if the word is changed depending on context

[@lovedove2661]

Hvala Alja, your videos are very helpful and informative.

[@xolang]

S Love this. 😊 Greetings from the equator!

[@matematicasemplice]

Very interesting! I hope you will make new videos of this

[@charlesreidy2765]

I'm finding that the problem with learning the language is that it's hard to find dictionaries/vocabulary lists that show which syllable in a word the stress is on, or what kind of stress.

This collection of Slovene dictionaries shows the stresses and their types: fran.si

[@charlesreidy2765]

@@andras5319 Thank you, but I was talking about English-Slovene dictionaries. Since posting my comment, I've found that the online English-Slovene dictionary at en.pons.com/translate does provide stress indicators. The current version of "Colloquial Slovene" does, too.

"Pès" zvuči kao da je "šva" u sredini. Nisam znao da i Slovenski ima različite naglaske na samoglasnicima :) Although, duljine mi zvuče slično, više zvuči kao da su samoglasnici različiti (npr. otvoreno, zatvoreno "e", i "šva").

[@DavidKozinski]

Very useful. Maybe you would conciser doing an Slovene alphabet video.

[@alja7435]

Živjo, David! :) I have been thinking about it! :D I will try and record it soon! :) Hvala!

[@DavidKozinski]

@@alja7435 Hvala. I think that might help many of us. Have a wonderful weekend!

[@lovedove2661]

@@DavidKozinski She has an app and it has the alphabet. You can down load it, it is very easy and Alja has designed her app to be so helpful.
