How Russian word stress works
Russian stress is not fixed. The stressed syllable can appear in different parts of a word and may move when the word changes form. Stress marks are normally omitted in everyday Russian and are useful when you are learning a new word, reading aloud or checking pronunciation.
The letter Ё carries stress. Russian texts often print Е where Ё is expected.
все → всёеще → ещё
Some words have the same spelling and different meanings depending on stress.
за́мок
castle
замо́к
lock
му́ка
suffering
мука́
flour
сто́ит
costs
стои́т
stands
