The stress is so weak that linguists have not been able to agree on exactly where it falls. In words of four and fewer syllables, the stress falls on either the initial syllable or the antepenultimate syllable (third from the end)." Duff, Seamus (13 September 2020).

On 10 August 2005, just before she turned 21, Melua became a British citizen along with her parents and brother. The citizenship ceremony took place in Weybridge, Surrey. [26] Becoming a British citizen meant that Melua had held three citizenships before she was 21; first Soviet, then Georgian and finally, British. Melua is fluent in English and speaks some Russian; despite still speaking her native Georgian fluently [17] she has admitted that she cannot write songs in the language.

In 1993, when Melua was eight, the family moved to Belfast, Northern Ireland, in the aftermath of the Georgian Civil War. Her father, a heart surgeon, took up a position at the Royal Victoria Hospital. The family remained in Belfast, living close to Falls Road, until Melua was 14. [24] During her time in Northern Ireland, Melua attended the Roman Catholic schools St Catherine's Primary School and Dominican College, Fortwilliam, while her younger brother attended State schools. [5] The Melua family then moved to Sutton, London and some time later moved again to Redhill, Surrey. In 2008, Melua moved out of her parents' home in Maida Vale to an apartment in Notting Hill, [20] where she transformed the spare bedroom into a recording studio.
