A word is a lexical unit that has a fixed meaning and a grammatical category.
Syllables are the phonological divisions of a word. The syllables that are pronounced with the same intensity as the others are called unstressed syllables. The syllables that are pronounced with greater intensity are called stressed syllables. The location of the stressed syllable is what divides words according to their stress in:
- Sharp words. The stressed syllable is the last one and they carry an accent when they end in N, S or vowel. For example: I saw yousor.
- Serious words. The stressed syllable is the penultimate syllable and they carry an accent when they do not end in N, S or vowel. For example: pe-rro.
- Esdrújulas words. The tonic syllable is the penultimate syllable and they always carry an accent. For example: TO-I-delicious.
- See also: Bass, acute and esdrújulas words
