Accent

[edit]

@Rodrigo5260 Do you know where you got the accent for this word from? I'd followed your original input when creating the audio file as well, but the name etymology source I've now added says that it's Благове́ста (Blagovésta). Kiril kovachev (talkcontribs) 19:43, 4 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

P.S. If you hadn't seen it, there is a link under "page 76" which lets you see the dictionary itself on the relevant page. The entry for Благовеста is on the bottom-right of the page. Kiril kovachev (talkcontribs) 19:45, 4 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
I used the tts of Google Translate, but either it mispronounced it or I misheard it, also, I didn't know about your existence back then. Rodrigo5260 (talk) 21:18, 4 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Rodrigo5260 Okay, thanks for letting me know. But please don't do that. Please don't add the accent unless you know for certain that it's that. No one can trust accents if we know that they may not even be correct: it's best to just leave it unspecified if that's the case. As you can see, they affect users who take them at face value, case in point my audio recording; I can re-record the audio, it's honestly trivial, but in the meantime we are misinforming people with that, and with the accent placement itself. BTW, I doubt this would have been different even if you knew me. Thanks very much again anyway for letting me know, Kiril kovachev (talkcontribs) 14:29, 5 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
