Hi friends, could you give me advice? If I say hotel, the pronunciation is on the second syllable. What if I say a hotel room? Is the pron. of the hotel at the first syllable? Thnx. |

Hi ivush,
In Br Eng, the pronunciation is the same, with the stress on the second syllable, whether you use hotel as a noun or an adjective. |

Hello Ivush,
Being from England, I put more stress on the second syllable. I �ve had a quick practice and found that if I add �room �, then the stress is still on the second syllable, hehe.
Cheers,
Stuart  |
