How do you tell the difference when spoken?

[–] fneu@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 9 months ago

Context. In the first two examples both sentences sound exactly the same, but it has never been a problem.

In some examples I‘d maybe expect stronger emphasis on the noun. ‚Sucht‘ (short u) vs ‚sucht‘ (long u) from the last example are pronounced very differently.
