Accents....

[shiro-fukurou.livejournal.com]

Hello
I just joined this group and a newbie here at Live Journal.

I know accents in Russian words are really essential. So, my main question is, how do I know/learn the Accents.
I'm a complete beginner in Russian. So, I'm really sorry if my question sounds really stupid.
I just know that ADresa is "Address" and adreSA is "Addresses"..... Or... am I wrong? Please correct and teach me :)

There are some rules about putting stress in a noun.
One was mentioned: if you form Plural Nominative by adding -а/-я, the stress is on the ending (for neutral gender it's not so: Окна, сЁла, вЁсла).
There's one more tendention: often in native masculine words in Singular Accusative and in Plural stress moves to the first syllable: головА - гОлову, гОловы, ногА - нОгу, нОги, рукА - рУку, рУки, корА - кОру, коСа - кОсу, кОсы.
Some affixes move the stress: prefix вы- tends to be stressed (вЫкинуть, вЫгородить, вЫболтать), suffix -ива-/-ыва- 'like' (even more) the previous syllable to be stressed (выкИдывать, выгорАживать, выбАлтывать, сбрАсывать, узакОнивать; the О-А change is to be learnt and remembers since there is no simple rule).

May be, though I can simply imagine smth like кОру ободрать.
