You see the word “content” in a piece of writing. But how do you pronounce it?
There are two ways. It very much depends on the meaning. The stress is either on the first syllable – CONtent (in German: ‘Inhalt’). Or on the second syllable – conTENT (in German: ‘zufrieden’).
Before we speak, it might be a good idea to ask ourselves the following questions:
T – Is it true?
H – Is it helpful?
I – Is it inspiring?
N – Is it necessary?
K – Is it kind?
It might not be easy, but it’s worth giving a try!
