1. comparative / 2. comparable<br/><br/> --&gt; the stress : 1. com'parative / 2. 'comparable<br/><br/>I can easily(intuitively) expect that the stress of 1 falls on the second syllable.<br/><br/>I applied the same rule to 2 because it looks similar to 1.<br/><br/>Having checked the stress in my dictionary, I was very surprised that 2 does not have the stress on the second syllable!<br/><br/>Do you intuitively know that the stress of 2 falls on the second syllable?<br/><br/>I can figure out 1 intuitively but not 2 -.-;;
