It's awful, especially when you need to come up with lyrics quickly! This is where a rhyming dictionary can help; however, most dictionaries just spit out a word regardless if it's usable in a song

Subscribe to the network publication "Teacher's Newspaper", write questions, comments and suggestions on publications. Soon there will be new materials on the topic of the purity of our speech at " Literate "!

Earlier in the network publication "Uchitelskaya Gazeta" we talked about "Top 15 stresses that even literate people put incorrectly" and what rhymes will help you remember and correctly place stresses in the words airports, asymmetry and symmetry, accountant , boutique, accountant, gross, etc.

Also in the online publication "Uchitelskaya Gazeta" we introduced readers to the "Top 5 pairs of words, the meanings of which are often confused and misused."

Among such pairs: activate-activate, beaver-beaver, everyday-everyday, pitiful-pitiful, etc.

45 words with “reminders” that will be useful for schoolchildren and adults - Teacher's newspaper

No matter how you learn stress, you can still get confused at the most inopportune moment. We tried to speak correctly, but many around speak differently, and we begin to echo them. "Gramotator" has repeatedly addressed the topic of stress. But questions from our readers keep coming. And today we decided to offer a mini-dictionary of the most problematic nouns with rhymes for memorization. They will be useful both in life and on the exam. And as a daily cheat sheet, you can use our cards.

Noun stresses

The letter A

Asymmetry

The stress in this word falls on the last syllable. The “asymmetry” familiar to many is wrong. Although some dictionaries provide such an option as the only or alternative, they are in the minority. And it is asymmetry that corresponds to a strict norm. Our rhyme will help you remember this.

Allergy occurs,

When there is asymmetry all around

Airport

Stress in all forms, except for the prepositional case, falls on -port-. In the prepositional case, the stress falls on the ending when we talk about the place (where) - at the airport, and on - the port when we talk about the airport. Let's learn " memory notes ", and we will never make a mistake.

Airport

Settled in comfort -

Satisfied with the airport.

At the airport (where, about the place)

How the liner is gaining altitude,

You will only see it at the airport.

About the airpoore (about which)

read news about sports,

And read - about the airpoore

Aero -reproaches (multiple)

We love resorts,

We hasten at aeropors.

Letter B

Bows

This is one of the few two-syllable nouns in which the stress in all forms and plural falls on the last syllable. Here, too, it is enough to remember the word "bow" and simply substitute endings for it, without changing anything. Well rhyme will help.

piping on the shirt,

bows on the head

Boutique

The word came from the French language, which means that the stress falls on the last syllable. The main thing to remember is that the stress will stand when changing the word in cases and in the plural. And rhymes will help to fix.

Light and shine -

Just chic

This brand new boutique

Boutique

Sign of the faceless

In a fashionable butter

Boutik

I was surprised by the 30005

Boutike

in Boutike

We will give carpies

in the butt

9000 Blueberries, lingonberries and strawberries

Do not sell beautiful fashion boutiques

Accountant

Directors, professors have long turned into directors and professors, shifting the emphasis to the ending. But accountants are not one of those. The stress in this word is invariable and in all forms of the plural falls on the root.

A “Memill ” will help not to forget:

Accounts (multi -d.), Accounters

Good Harakters

have all accountants,

and bad harackers

have no accounting accountants.

Letter B

Widowhood

The stress in this word always falls only on the last syllable. It does not change with the declension of the noun.

Here you can not do without « memory sticks »:

Magic for Christmas

Widowhood instantly crumbled.

Religion

Despite the fact that many stubbornly say religion, the correct option is only religion. And nothing else. Let's remember the word "know", it will help to correctly place the stress. And you can also come up with rhyme, so as not to make a mistake.

I know - I don't know,

What I confess.

I don't know at all

Religion.

Ages

In the plural, as in "accountants", the stress in the word "age" remains unchanged, on the first syllable - ages. Saying and writing "age" is incorrect. And the classic will help to remember this:

All ages are submissive to love.

Download this flashcard to help you memorize difficult accents faster. And we go further - before us are the words with the letter "g".

Letter G

Rake

When the word “rake” is changed, the stress will not move anywhere - it will remain on the first syllable, whether we rejoice at the rake, work at the rake or think about the rake.

Rhyme will help you remember easily:

Hands are already cold -

How can we hold the rake?

Rake

Forehead covered with drops

From working with a rake.

Rake or rake

There is no rake in the barn,

I had to work with a saber.

Corrugated

Amazing word! Most pronounce it incorrectly, and the emphasis here falls not on the second, but on the third syllable - corrugated. By analogy with "pleated". So let's remember, and rhyme will help in this.

Pleated skirt,

A pleated bow.

Corrugated can be not only a bow, but also hair tongs, and a hose, and metal. However, the emphasis will not change.

Letter D

Door

When changing the word “door”, the accent almost always remains on the root. And only in one case - if we are talking about the door as a place - the emphasis will go to the ending.

To the door

At the door

But (hanging) on the door.

And it’s better to remember and not get confused, it will help rhyme about wild animals:

Wild animals came to the door -

They knew that crackers

The owner left them at the door.

Dispensary

The word is of French origin, and therefore the stress falls on the last syllable. The word "dispensary" does not correspond to the norm. Only the dispensary is correct. The stress will not change when the word is declined. And “ memorizer ”

Engineer says

The word is correct – dispensary.

Agreement and agreements

Frequently used "agreements and agreements" under strict prohibition! Only contract and contracts.

Let's remember rhyme and we won't make mistakes:

Have a conversation with a lawyer,

To conclude an agreement.

But talking won't help

Making contracts.

Letter I

Iconography

Surprisingly, the stress in this word falls on the first syllable. And, although from the word “icon” one really wants to say “icon painting”, this should not be done. Rhyme :

Turned out today

What is right - iconography.

Game

The word, although old, is used in modern speech, including in a figurative sense. As in the previous word, the stress here falls only on the first syllable. No games allowed! And “ memorizer ”:

Came in a monster costume

To the school for a game.

Letter K

Catalog

Words ending in -log have different stresses. In the word catalog, as in the words dialogue, monologue, prologue, epilogue, the stress falls on the last syllable. There is no word catalog. Rhyme will help you not to get confused.

We started a dialogue,

We are discussing the catalogue.

Containers

And somewhere, there are probably containers, because that's what they say very often. However, the stress here is stable and in all forms of the word falls on the second syllable - containers. It never carries over to the end.

Let's remember "accountants" and "ages" and just remember.

And again, our cheat sheet, which you can download and use to memorize difficult stresses.

The letter M

In a glimpse

Another difficult word, who says “briefly”, and who says “briefly”. Unfortunately for many, the second option is wrong. The stress in the word "glimpse" falls on the first syllable. There are no exceptions. You can come up with your own associations to remember, or you can learn our rhyme :

They write very small,

We caught a glimpse

Garbage chute

If we don't want to push garbage into the wires, then we shouldn't say garbage chute. Garbage can only be thrown into the garbage chute. The stress in this word falls on the last syllable. As in other "wires" - a gas pipeline, a pipeline, an oil pipeline. And it will help to remember rhyme :

The whole rather big passage

The garbage chute occupied.

Letter H

Nakid

It would seem that this word should not cause difficulties. But it turned out that there is some professional slang - many knitters say nakid, throwing a loop on a knitting needle. However, there are no exceptions here. Only nakid is correct - in knitting and in other cases. "Memory" will help;

We are not very surprised:

In knitting, they make a crochet.

Intention

The origin of the word "intention" is unknown, but it creeps into our speech quite often. However, there is only intention. The stress in this word falls on the second syllable. The rhyme will help to remember, and to someone to get rid of incorrect pronunciation:

It is better to be more moderate

Talk about intentions.

Letter O

Provision

The stress in this word always falls on the third syllable - provision. And it doesn’t matter if we are talking about material support for someone, ensuring an obligation with something or ensuring someone’s safety. The stress will stand in any case. There is no word “providing”, which many dictionaries explicitly warn about.

A rhyme will help you remember this difficult word:

The word provision

Window - window

Do you remember the words of the song of the group "Lube": "... from the wide open windows .."? Many will be surprised, but this is not the norm. In the genitive plural, the stress falls on the first syllable - windows. Not windows. Remember?

What is this cocoon

Do we see from the windows?

Letter П

Appeal

The stress in this word always falls on the second syllable. It doesn't matter if it's a call to action or a call to the army. Often, when it comes to conscription for military service, you can hear the call. However, in the army, as well as for action, they are called. And there is no reason to change the stress in a word depending on the meaning. In all cases, the emphasis is the same - the call. A from rhyme easier!

The window is open,

We hear the call.

Pullover

Not a half-over, not a pullover, but only a pullover. Dictionaries do not provide other options. In order not to accidentally put on a half-belt, remember rhyme :

A beautiful motor scooter.

And a pullover in his color.

The letter P

Shell

Perhaps, checking the word "shell", some put the emphasis on the first syllable - shell. And what? A large shell, and a small shell. However, the word "shell" is not a test word for a shell. And the stress in this word is placed on the second syllable - shell. And small, and large, and river, and sea. And to be remembered better, rhyme :

Beautiful toy

From a seashell.

Regent

The word has several meanings. This is both the temporary ruler and the conductor of the church choir. But the stress is one - on the first syllable. In M.A. Bulgakov’s novel The Master and Margarita, the “regent” is quite common: this is how Koroviev called himself at the beginning of the work. “Now the regent put on his nose an obviously unnecessary pince-nez, in which one glass was missing at all, and the other was cracked.” If anyone doubted how to pronounce Koroviev's position, now he will be sure that he is regent. Well, in addition to the classics, our " memo ":

Likes to listen to reggae

Hora former regent

And this is the third card from the dictionary. Download it and we will not make mistakes in pronunciation.

Letter C

Symmetry

Remember the asymmetry? One might think that in the word "symmetry" the stress falls on the last syllable. The words are similar! But no, that would be too simple, so in the word "symmetry" the stress falls on the second syllable - symmetry. Here, as in the case of asymmetry, there are sometimes two options in dictionaries - symmetry and symmetry. But only the first one corresponds to a strict norm - symmetry. Remember with rhymes

Likes geometry,

So that there is symmetry.

Concentration

Concentration can often be heard. But let's imagine how something gathers at one point, and easily remember what is right - concentration. And if the dot does not help, then our rhyme will definitely do it:

The shutters are boarded up,

Silence is concentrated here

The insurer

For some unknown reason, this word is pronounced insurer. Perhaps, by analogy with some professions in the -man: crane operator, shoemaker. However, none of the modern dictionaries records the word "insurer". There is only "insurer". The emphasis on "o" remains in the derivative words "insurer", "reinsurer".

And it’s easy to remember: remember the word insurance, the insurer also has an emphasis on the letter “o”. And you can also come up with rhyme :

Lviv trainers

Always go to the insurer.

Carpenter

The correct stress in this word is on the last syllable. The profession of carpenter does not exist, no matter how often one hears this word. It's like saying not a painter, but a painter. However, they don’t say that, but for some reason the carpenter took root. And in vain, it does not correspond to the norm. The painter will help remember :

We have a painter working,

But we really need a carpenter.

By the way, the correct plural is “carpenters”, not carpenters and not carpenters. As, however, and painters.

Letter T

Cakes

Do you remember the word “bows”? "Cakes" from the same company. There are not many two-syllable words that have the stress on the first syllable. Cakes is one of them. The stress will remain unchanged when the word is declined. There are no cakes, not cakes, delicious cakes are welcome, but not cakes. When changing the word in the singular in cases, the stress will stand - there is no cake, I'm glad for the cake, I dream of a cake. A rhyme will help you remember:

We are going to resorts,

We can’t eat cakes,

We want to flaunt in shorts,

But they don’t get slim “on cakes”.

Transfer

Despite the common pronunciation “transfer”, it is correct to stress only the last syllable – transfer. And a "reminder":

Famous collector

Booked a transfer to the hotel.

Shoe

Contrary to popular belief, the stress here falls on the first syllable. You can’t say “shoe” or “shoe”, only “shoe. And don't forget that the noun shoe is feminine.

Letter X

Petition

One of the annoying and often used options is petition. Let's spare the ears of those around us and never say that! Only intercession and intercession. And with rhyme is easier to remember.

Just a treat for the ear.

When they say "intercession".

Letter Ш

Scarf

And one more of the few two-syllable words in which the stress falls on the first syllable. We already know about bows and cakes, and now scarves have joined them. It's only right, not scarves. The stress will be preserved when the word is changed both in the singular and in the plural - scarves, scarf, scarf, scarves. Rhyme will help you remember.

We play harps

Scarves are uncomfortable.

Let's sit down to the harps,

Let's take off our scarves

Double (variable) accents in nouns

Good news. No, in all words it is not yet possible to put stress on different syllables at will. But there are a lot of words with variable stress. Let's present some of them.

Apartments

It sounds amazing, but not so long ago only the pronunciation apartments was considered correct. And some dictionaries still fix this option as the only one. True, in some modern dictionaries you can see "apartment" as a colloquial option. But the majority still consider apartments and apartments to be equal. Both options are standard.

Bungalow

Until recently, only the bungalow was considered correct. Now, the stress depends on the choice of the speaker - both bungalow and bungalow correspond to the norm.

Croutons

As in the previous cases, only pronunciation - croutons was allowed before. And in the singular - toast had a masculine gender. Over time, croutons also appeared, and in the singular feminine toast.

Both words are normative, and the choice is yours.

College

You will be surprised, but many dictionaries record both college and college as equals. True, more conservative dictionaries adhere to the college option. We would also recommend not to stress the second syllable. But in this case there will be no error either.

Cooking

She stopped being only cookery a long time ago, having got herself a sister - cookery. Both cooking and cooking are recorded in dictionaries.

Pizzeria

Here you can taste delicious pizza. And it can be pronounced differently. If strict dictionaries believe that only the pizzeria option is correct, then most dictionaries argue with them, fixing two options - pizzeria and pizzeria.

Meatballs

Don't be surprised. The correct options are meatballs and meatballs. But, if you are faced with a choice or preparing an official speech, then meatballs, of course, are preferable.
