Norwegian Nynorsk Word Analysis: konfeksjonsbedrift

The word "konfeksjonsbedrift" (meaning 'clothing factory') is a compound noun in Norwegian Nynorsk. It's pronounced with a relatively even stress distribution, though the final syllable receives a slight emphasis. The 'j' sound is palatalized, similar to the 'y' in 'yes'.

2. Syllable Division:

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• konfeksjons-: From French "confection" (Latin "confectio") meaning 'making, preparation'. Acts as a compounding element denoting the type of production.
• -bedrift: Native Norwegian, meaning 'enterprise, business, firm'.

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the second syllable: kon-fek-sjons-be-drift. Nynorsk generally stresses the first syllable of the root word in compounds, but in longer compounds, secondary stresses can emerge.

5. Phonetic Transcription:
