Solution
- Stress: Extra force applied when pronouncing or speaking a word or phrase. For example, in the word 'English', the syllable 'Eng' is stressed. The word English is stressed in the line 'Say it in English'.
- Intonation: The rise and fall of the voice adds meaning to the statement. For example, the voice rises or goes up at the end of 'You need coffee?' to indicate that it is a query.
- Sound: A sound is something that you hear.
- Consonant: Speech sounds like 'ब्', 'श्', 'ट्', etc., which are not vowels. A consonant letter represents a consonant sound. For example, the letter 'c' (सी) represents the sound 'स्' in 'city' and 'क्' in 'coming'.
- Vowel: A speaking sound produced without closing any part of the mouth or throat. For instance, 'ॲ' and 'आ'. A vowel letter is a letter of the alphabet that represents the vowel sound. The vowel letters are a, e, i, o, and u. The letter 'y', too, can stand for a vowel.
