Volevo sapere come si pronuncia suddetto aggettivo,
in particolare, dove cade l'accento.
Su wordreference, sembra che la voce US
lo prounci ěnterested (accendo sulla prima I),
mentre quella UK lo prounci interčsted
(accento sulla seconda E).

grazie a tutti...
 

 
You're correct about the US pronunciation: The accent is on the first 
syllable (In-). In casual speech the first T isn't pronounced.

Il mio vecchio diz., che considera l'americano come una

Qual è l'età del tuo dizionario? La più antica che abbiamo in casa è 
dal 1949, un "Dikke van Dale", dizionario Olandese. Lo uso ancora a 
volte.

If at first you don’t succeed, then skydiving isn’t for you.

 in particolare, dove cade l'accento.
L'accento principale e' sempre sulla "int", ma ci sono due modi di 
pronunciare "interested". Uno con un unico accento, quello appena 
descritto, l'altro inserendo un accento secondario su "rest"

I do like the smell of old books.
An Orlandi must be the same as a Dikke Van Dale, I think.

il dizionario olandese ufficiale. Il Dale Groot woordenboek van de 
Nederlandse del furgone taal (nl), spesso denominato Dikke Van Dale 
(“van Dale grasso„, riferirsi al relativo formato) è tagliato in tre 
tomi (IA, J-R, S-Z) e solitamente è aggiornato ogni 7-8 anni. La 
quattordicesima edizione è stata pubblicata dentro 2005.

Our old version consists of one book.
The way children look up words these days has changed; they use a 
translator on the Internet. Our kids use me as their dictionary :). I 
always told and tell them, it is better to search in a paper 
dictionary, that they will also find other words around the word they 
where looking for, see connections with other words and so on.
To be honest, also I am "prosecutable" looking up words on the 
Internet, but it still cannot beat a normal, paper dictionary :)
I found a part of an article in which critics are spewed of modern 
Italian and English dictionaries:

 dictionary,
It's slooow! ;-)

A computer needs more space :p
And it sure looks intelligent to have a whole stack of dictionaries in 
the bookcase doesn't it? :')

Yes, but you just don't have to *move* those heavy weights :-DDD

When I was a pupil at school, I even had to carry those damn weighty
paper dictionaries in my school bag! :-(
I guess there might be some correlation with scoliosis, the spine
being curved by the weight of dictionaries and school books. Or should
we call it "schooliosis"? ;-D
Nowadays I like having paper dictionaries on the shelf, but as a
matter of fact I usually end up using the paperless versions.

I don't think there is evidence that sco(o)liosis is caused by heavy 
books. :) It would be "food" for American to sue schools!
I use paper dictionaries as well as online ones. It depends on what I 
am looking for. I have collected quite some paper dictionaries in 
several languages already. Even one in Korean, which I do not use every 
day :).Whenever I met a person with a, for me, unknown language, I 
bought a small dictionary. Just for fun.

This is certainly true of UK English . In casual speech in the UK , it 
becomes 'intrested' , first syllable stressed , last two 'e's indeterminate 
; pronounced more deliberately , there is a secondary stress as EiP says .
