How To Pronounce Content

The stress in content moves depending on how the word is used.

Noun. It is /ˈkɒn.tent/ in British English and /ˈkɑːnˌtent/ in American English with the main stress on the first syllable, as in “the content”.

Adjective. It is /kənˈtent/ in British English and /kənˈtent/ in American English with the main stress on the second syllable, as in “I am content”.

Slashes / / show the phonemic transcription, the sounds that change meaning. Square brackets [ ] show the phonetic transcription, with the finer detail of how the sounds are actually made.
