Hello!
I've just started learning Swedish and I've been having some problems figuring out which pitch accent a word has. I've tried wiktionary but they don't seem to differentiate between the two pitch accents in their IPA transcriptions. I've also noticed that apparently words, when declined, can change pitch accent. For example 'pojke' is supposed to be pronounced with the grave accent, whereas its declined form 'pojken' seems to have the grave accent on it.
Another problem with the pitch accent marking is that as far as I know it always concerns two syllables, but somehow it also exists in words that consist of more than two syllables. How do I know how to pronounce them given that the IPA pitch accent marking seems to be written always at the beginning of the transcription?
My question is: do you know any resources that would help me systematically and reliably check the full pronunciation of Swedish words, including their declined and conjugated forms? I'd be very thankful for you help.
