TRANSCRIPT
Hi, there. My name is Emma, and in today's lesson, I'm going to teach you what a compound noun is, and how to pronounce compound nouns. So, in this video, you're going to learn pronunciation and also about what is a compound noun.
So, let's look at what a compound noun is to get started. I have here five words. "Bed", "news", "hair", "sun", "foot", and beside them, I have another word: "room", "paper", "cut", "glasses", "ball". These are examples of compound nouns. So, you might have guessed it already, a compound noun is where you have a word and another word that have been put together to form a new word. So, "bed" and "room" together become "bedroom". "News" and "paper" become "newspaper". "Hair", "cut" becomes "haircut". "Sun" and "glasses" is "sunglasses". And finally, "foot" and "ball" is "football". Pretty simple, I think.
So, what I would like you to do now is I want you to take out a piece of paper and a pen, and try to think of as many compound nouns as you can. Okay? So take a moment, pause the video, brainstorm for maybe one to two minutes all of the compound nouns you can think of. All right.
Okay, so now that you have your list of compound nouns, I want to teach you about how to pronounce these words. Okay? So, the key here is a compound noun is made up of at least two words. Where do you think the stress is? What part of the word do you think we say louder and longer? What do I mean by this? Well, for example, do you think I say: "bedroom" or "bedroom"? If you said "bedroom", you are correct. For compound nouns, the very first part or the first word in the compound noun, we say it longer and louder. All right?
So repeat after me: "Bedroom. Bedroom". Okay? And again, here: "news" is the part we say louder and longer. "Newspaper. Newspaper." Okay. Here, again, we say the first part louder and longer. "Haircut. Haircut." Okay. Can you guess where the stress is going to be here? If you said: "On 'sun'". You are correct. "Sunglasses. Sunglasses." Okay?
And I'm saying the first part very loud and long, maybe a little bit too exaggerated. But with stress, it's very important to stress your syllables correctly, because this can really impact whether or not a native speaker understands you. So, this is very important. Stress is very important. Okay. Finally: "Football. Football." So what part was louder? This part was louder. "Football." Okay?
So, let's try to say some of these words in a sentence, and I want you to repeat after me and pay attention to the stress. Okay? So, I have this sentence: "My bedroom is nice." So, again, this is the part that's loud. "My bedroom is nice.", "Your sunglasses... Your sunglasses are pink like the sunrise." Oh, great, we have another compound noun right here. "Sun" and "rise", they are two different words that have been brought together. So "sun" will be louder. "Your sunglasses are pink like the sunrise." Okay? And finally: "She pays football." So, again, we have our stress at the first word. "She plays football."
So, again, you can find these compound nouns everywhere. If you look in an English newspaper, if you look on an English website, there are thousands of them. So this is quite important. Again, it's usually the very first word within a compound noun that is stressed, that is longer and louder.
So, I invite you to come check our website at www.engvid.com. There, you can actually do a quiz to make sure you understand what a compound noun is. You can also subscribe to my RUclips channel where I have a variety of videos on many different subjects. Until next time, take care.
Hi, Miss Emma! i'm a student from Brazil and would like to thank you for your videos. I have to admit i'm passionate about the way you teach. I'm a huge fan of you, Adam, Ronnie and Benjamin too. You all have done my english better with your classes. Lots of love.
That's great! My books will be helpful for learning Russian and English. I published Transliterated russian dictionary with English translation. Compound words dictionary separated by tables. All details and links for books on my channel. Red velvet and Vanilla Gelato. Exercises for an interpreter. And also two copies of these books, where Russian words have given in Cyrillic.

Hi miss Emma I am a student from Germany I am very thankful for you in 5minutes I know what is compound noun😇🥰
I realy love your teaching. Thanks
Thank you Miss Emma for your teaching, today I learned new things, especially about the pronunciation of compound nouns.
You are great. Please, would you mind making a lesson about the difference between "if" and "whether"? I don't get when I have to use them properly. Thank you very much and bye.
one tip is to use 'if' when you have just one statement, and 'whether' when you have two. for example:
'if you are right, we should do that.'
'if you aren't right, we should do that.'
'whether you are right or not, we should do that.' (this means: 'if you are right or if you aren't right, [...].')

hey Emma, your videos are really helpful for me and I appreciate this, but I wonder if you have any online classes for improving speaking skill?? Skype, for example?? Learn English with Emma [engVid]
Hi Emma and how do we stress when the first word has two or more syllables for example why do we say HIKing boots but hoTEL room.
I love your videos... Im having a hard time pronouncing words that has (TH) at the end. Like both i tend to say boat, tooth to thoot etc can you please help me. Thanks!
thank toooooooooooooooo much
good exactly what i am looking for
They have to be together to be compound nouns? for example, 'soccer player' would be compound noun?
Software ,Internet ,Online,Laptop,keyboard,suitcase,airport,handbag,wheelchair,dishwasher,headphone,sunlight,sunshine,treadmill,facelift,bedsheets,
Do we say football or soccer in Canada?
it's kinda hard to comprehend compound nouns because in my native language, the main noun usually comes first instead of coming at the last. sometimes i can't find the kind of the noun first or the adjective, instead, my mind just thinks of the main noun which is at the end and makes it hard for me to find the kind of the thing/noun
nice work
The chef they talked about finding at 27:54 ended up being my daddy
