| When people ask a question, are all syllables of the final word of a sentence stressed? Or, like the case I have just mentioned, they increase gradually like "do re mi?" :o Or neither? It all depends on the situation? It seems that when people stress the final word like"do re mi," somehow they imply a sense of uncertainty, worry, sarcasm,etc. I don't know if you guys understand what I am trying to say. :( Did anyone experience the same situation as I did? Thank you in advance! :o |

| We extend words and place different stress on them sometimes. I might move the stress on 'jealous' as a way of making a suggestion- this way, it sounds more open, suggesting that I haven't made up my mind, but am open to thepossibility. |
