All of the words mentioned here are trochaic, meaning that their first syllable is stressed while their second syllable is not. If it was the other way around then it would be iambic.

Answer:

All words are trochaic

Step-by-step explanation:

The Trochaic represents a word where the first syllable is long, or tonic, followed by a short syllable, or atonic. To know which of the syllables of the word is the tonic syllable, it is necessary to observe the force in which the syllables are pronounced. Usually the tonic syllable is pronounced with more force, presenting a stronger and imposing sound.
