It's pronounced with a relatively even stress distribution, though the final syllable receives slightly more emphasis. The 'j' sound is the postalveolar fricative /j/. The 'tt' represents a geminate consonant, a lengthened consonant sound.

2. Syllable Division:

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• budsjett: (Noun) - "budget". Origin: English "budget" (via French "bougette"). Morphological function: Noun, the base concept.

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the second syllable, "sjett". Norwegian stress is generally predictable, falling on the first syllable of a word or compound, but can shift in longer compounds. In this case, the length of the word and the presence of the compound structure cause the stress to fall on the second syllable.
