Why does Italian stress feel harder than Spanish or French? In this video, I break down what makes Italian prosody uniquely complex: unpredictable lexical stress, contrastive consonant length, stress-based minimal pairs, and the way vowel quality and rhythm interact with emphasis. By comparing Italian with Spanish and French cognates, you’ll see how Italian encodes meaning not just through stress placement, but through duration, vowel openness, and timing — all at once. This is a phonetic and phonological look at why Italian “sounds” different, even within the Romance family.
