No, no...I'm wondering which syllable is emphasized, since it determines which descriptor is more commonplace. Keep up, linguistics guru! |
Oh. I thought you always emphasised the noun unless you wanted to draw the attention to the adjective in very special cases. As a junglist myself, "vibes" is the strongest word of this phrase. I'd only focus on "massive" if I said something like "This vibe is massive".
But, English is not my mother language, so I could be mistaken. |

No, you're right in your assessment, but I don't know--maybe the mention of 'vibes' is common enough to warrant emphasis on the adjective. That was what I was unsure of. |

Oh, I think I get what you mean. I'd probably put the emphasis on "massive" if I were to emphasise anything. |

| Each person they arrest should flip for the bill. If they can't they should work for the city and the shops, until that debt is paid off. Got to love free labour, what is the use to lock them up and waste tax payers money. |
