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.

Is celebración a sample of a diptongo?

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".
