What is a "grave"?
A grave accent is a diacritical mark that appears as a downward slanting line placed above a vowel, typically resembling a small open angle (`). It is used in several languages to indicate specific pronunciation or to distinguish words. For example, in French, the grave accent appears in the word "où," meaning "where," and shows that the vowel is pronounced distinctly. In Italian, the grave accent can indicate which syllable is stressed, as in "città." The grave accent is significant in written language because it affects pronunciation and meaning, helping to ensure clarity and accuracy in communication.
