Why does this word not obey the stress rules?
It must be "grín" because the only stressable vowel in the word is in a position that requires an accent (because with n, s, and vowels, the penultimate syllable must be stressed). Similar to "más"

Good evening, I could say: "I'm applying for Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" But what if I did it for my husband? You can't say, "I'm proposing you/my husband for Who Wants to Be a Millionaire." How would you say it correctly? registering wouldn't be quite appropriate.
Can I drop out of vocational high school without any problems? I'm not interested and lack motivation? The first year was okay, but since the beginning of the year, I've had zero motivation.
Hello, I'm taking an exam the day after tomorrow on Nazi foreign policy and would like to know what the most important steps were that should also be mentioned in the exam. I would also like to have a few examples of English cartoons on this topic that could be used in the exam. My…
I can't find anything about it in the dictionary etc., but it's used quite frequently online. Only Microsoft shows it to me as an error word, which annoys me. So is it right or not?
To explain in detail: I'm starting an apprenticeship, and the weeks where I have vocational school are listed there. I have block courses!
Just by their dialect. Can you tell where someone from Austria is from?
Hello,
you’re throwing something together. Since single-silver words have only one concrete syllable, there is never an accent on the identification of the concrete. The accent just characterizes irregular concretes – but this can only happen in multi-silve words.
When accents are on single words, it’s…
(a) Question words (all question words bear an accent as grammatical marks, also multi-silver, which are regularly stressed, such as ¿cómo? ¿cuándo? ) or …
b) words that bear the accent to make them of other identical single words with different meaning or to be able to distinguish function. For example, “mas” means “but” without accent. Other examples: té = tea <-> te = you, you ; tú = du <-> tu = your, your ; él = he (Pers.Pron) <-> el = “der” (Article) ; sí = yes, but <-> si = if:

Thank you. I already knew the functions, but I was not aware of the other meaning of mas, which is why I assumed the single word must also be emphasised. Thank you for the clarification.
It also depends on whether it is a stressed or unintentional word. With two identical words that do not need a graphical accent, but have a different function, the emphasized word type receives the prosodic accent, cf. se (unconcrete pronoun) vs. sé (Verb, always emphasized).
Not prosodic, but diacritical accent I wanted to say.
