What’s the most important word in a sentence? I just got here

AIM : I want to have some

context for a question. Are you playing long?

I just had my questions. I couldn’t seem to get them that way. What is this? Why do we hear

the phrase “I just got here”? Please bear in mind that I am not a native language. Which sounds less conspicuous when you pronounce “I’ve just got here” in the context below?

If my comment does not have context, why does Quora have some suggestions?

Have you been waiting for a long time? “, the subtle stress is placed upon got, just like you determined.

Whilst word stress can introduce meaning to a sentence when the emphasis is not so subtle, the sentence needs to be more descriptive and long. How can I clarify and enhance the words in a sentence?

You and your sister just got here.
What are you saying to yourself: I just got here.
My sister did not just get here. subtext : My sister didn’t just get here.

Have you spoken to anyone here?
How do I just got here?
I haven’t had time to talk to everyone because I have only just arrived.

I need you to go to the store, you cried, because I now need you.
Me: I just got here.
I spent my time here and would like to keep here for a while still. I’m interested in sharing as per you. Subtext : I need to keep here.

Most of the competitors have almost finished the race.
Me: I just got here.
Subtext: I’m not progressing as quickly as I would like. I have many reasons for this.

No two stress references are alike. What does ‘second’ mean exactly? Stress on just will be interpreted as a more emphatic complaint than stress on got.

Could you please explain why “got” is the strongest stress? Is “Here” like pronoun though on a non-descriptive system but sometimes has less stress than

a full sentence would have.
