Talk:на смерть

@Atitarev, Cinemantique, Wikitiki89 Does смерть have stress on it as well? I'm guessing no but I may be wrong. Similarly до́ смерти (dó smerti) and при́ смерти (prí smerti) ... the links on this page give stress on the first syllable of смерти along with the preposition, but the pages themselves don't do that.

No. The only time prepositions like на are stressed is when they steal the stress from the first syllable of the next word, leaving that word without stress. --WikiTiki89 15:28, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

The preposition is stressed but in the less idiomatic sense the noun is stressed. See ru:wikt.--Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 20:57, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
