I’m trying to learn the imperative, but find conflicting pronunciations in the examples. For instance https://www.practiceportuguese.com/tense/publicar-imperativo/
“Tu publica” is pronounced with the emphasis on the u, whereas “publica mais histórias” has the accent on the i.
I don’t understand why that should be different.
Thank you for your help.

Olá, @anne! In both cases, the stress is in the I vowel. However, the example sentence is pronounced more slowly, which makes this more evident than in the audio example for the isolated conjugation. You only hear actual stress in the U vowel if it is accented (i.e. the noun pública → public).
