"Acrobata" is a portuguese word. How would english-speakers pronounce it, and which syllable would you emphasize? I'm not looking for the way you should say it, just how you instinctively would say it.

No difference (between what is expected and what is correct): "acro`bata". The English is stressed on the first syllable, but even an English speaker would stress the middle syllable of the 3 syllabled version. English people mispronounce foreign words ending in '-a' that aren't stressed that way; this one is, so English speakers would get it right (even by accident ;-))
