      Actually yes. You can stress out some syllables to say YOUR moon is burning and such but it doesn’t help a lot. Context matters

      Yep. Or maybe you could say that they have a teeny tiny difference, but it’s barely noticeable if you aren’t listening very closely.

      Most likely not, I expect it’s the same as what you can do in English, put the stress on different places in a sentence to give different meaning.

        They all actually sound quite the same. Some syllables can be stressed to highlight parts of the sentences. YOUR moon vs your MOON

            I had some Scandinavian colleagues joke with me about how their languages have these melodic intonations and we speak everything in monotone and they can’t wrap their heads around it.
