Stress in a name  Stress in a word is often on the last syllable
(stress shown in bold below).   ka = door  araba = car  pazar =
market, bazaar  Pazar = Sunday (= market day)   With composite
words, one of the sub-words takes the stress:  Pazartesi =
Monday (literally: Pazar + ertesi = the day after Sunday)   As
suffixes get appended, the stress still remains on the last
syllable, unless the suffix is an unstressed suffix:   zel =
beatiful  güzellik = beauty  güzelliğin = your beauty
güzelliğinden = from your beauty   In proper names such as city
and country names, the second last syllable mostly takes the
stress:    • Istanbul   • İzmir   • Edirne   • Nikaragua   •
İngiltere   • Yugoslavya     • Ankara  İstanbul from space: -
