A weak syllable is a syllable in a word that is pronounced with less stress or emphasis compared to the strong syllables in the word. Weak syllables often have a reduced vowel sound and are typically found in unstressed parts of words.
A weak syllable is unstressed. A strong syllable carries the stress.
There is 1 syllable.
The accented syllable is the FIRST syllable (with a weak secondary accent on the last syllable). pos-chuh-muhs, or pos-choo-muhs
Yes. A diptongo, or diphthong, is when an unstressed weak vowel and a strong vowel are together in the same syllable. The weak vowels are I, U, and Y. The strong vowels are A, E, and O. In this example the ió makes a diphthong because the i is a weak vowel and is not accented, the o is a strong vowel, and they are both together in the same syllable. This simply means that when pronouncing ió you treat it as one syllable with the sound "yo".
No. In the word portion, the first syllable, por, has a caret O vowel sound (long O + R), and the second syllable, tion, has a weak vowel sound (technically, a schwa).
It is 'u'. The schwa sound is usually produced in a weak syllable.
The unstressed syllable in the word repel is the first syllable 'ruh'.
