| But you want to hear more? Well, theres this thing in Spanish called "tildes". We call them acute accent. The acute accent marks the stressed vowel of a word. I know. How crazy do that sounds, right? A vowel carries the acute accent depending in the syllable that it is stressed. So, if the stressed vowel is in the last syllable of the word and the word ends in a vowel, n or s you put the acute accent on the stressed vowel, but if it doesnt you dont, thats called a palabra aguda. | |

| If the stressed vowel is in the penultimate (next to last) and if it DOESNT end in a vowel, n or s you PUT the acute accent, but if it DOES you DONT put the acute accent thats called a palabra grave. If the stressed vowel is in the third or fourth syllable of the word you should always put the acute accent on it, if it has the stressed vowel on the third syllable its called a palabra esdrujula but if it has it in the fourth you call it a palabra sobre esdrujula. | |
