0Hi Everybody,02br
02br
00I've got some questions about which syllables of the following words should receive the principal stress (I'm typing the stressed syllables in capital letters below. Words without brackets are the stress patterns which I think are correct and words in round brackets are those of most Chinese people in HK):-02br
02br
001. MANchester (HK: ManCHESTer)02br
02br
002. HELena (HK: HeLENa)02br
02br
003. DIScount - as a noun (disCOUNT)02br
02br
004. COMparable (comPARable)02br
02br
005. REcap (reCAP)02br
02br
00Can some native speakers of English help me with these?02br
02br
00Thanks.02br
