Oooooh!!!

Oxítona, paroxítona and proparoxítona?

I never heard of these interesting names 0wo

In spanish we call them in order:

Aguda

Llana o grave

Esdrújula and

Sobreesdrújula. instead :3


Hehe funnily enough, spanish also works that way too!

We have unaccentuated words also!

Like
Este (1st to last)

But in spanish we have some rules like:

Oxítonal words are always accentuated if they end in N, S or in any vowel. and never if they lack those letters:

Aguará Guazú
Saldrán
Estás

Actriz
Perdiz
Visor
And others I can't think of :3

Paroxítonal words are Only accentuated when they don't end in N, S, or any vowel:

Compiten
Planetas
Computadora

Bermúdez
....(?)

And from the proparoxítonal words and beyond (eoproparoxítona?.. Sobreesdrújulas) always require an accent!

But these rules aren't absolutive

There's some exceptions like with Lexical accents:

El ≠ Él

Or dipthong breaking:
Laúdes
Paleontología :3

This is very interesting hehe
Apparently there's a corresponding word for each in English too, so there's oxytone, paroxytone, proparoxytone and... over-proparoxytone o-0
And I've just learned about similar alternative nomenclatures "aguda", "grave" and "esdrúxula" in Portuguese (latter one can also be something extravagant/outlandish, the only meaning I was aware of).

I can feel how overextravagant sobreesdrújulas words are to me!
I'm working on a new character because I ruined mav xD
Awww girl that's a shame D: *relieved Guifrog pops up inside a thought bubble, saying "aaaay no more lava deaths"*

Tárkatiwiti is a prosobreesdrújula from the ridiculous upside down parallel universe where walking Hawaiian bamboos talk about their favorite pie recipes :0

When you're all blueberry-flavored you sometimes wanna lick yourself, and when your skin is toxic... Things happen @w@
*Licks to see what happens*

*Spends the rest of the day partying with Issac Newton, George Washington and an interdimentional tentacle beast called 'Simon'. Wakes up in jail, totally naked having drag raced a Boeing 747, painted the Mona Lisa's eyebrows back on, flashed most world leaders and brought the Dow Jones down by 3000 points.*

That's what I call a good trip!

Looks like it didn't continue
It gives you the double yuck?
*smoke puffs from my earholes*
Yeah. And it also gives you the double hit *tongue-slaps you twice*

*I see you in a trance, probably experiencing dozens of over-proparoxytone visions while holding a flip-flop and attempting to drink it, speaking to the three succulent pots, then sitting on a bucket and making VROOOOM VROOOOOM sounds, after which you'd paint @lenago 's face, pull down the pants of the top FAF posters (including mine, to my dismay) and "take pictures" of it with a desk lamp, and finally lying down on the carpet after watching Squishy lose all his 3000 points acquired in a random Roblox game*

Y-yeah... I-I can tell!

And I see more fine blue beings...
How dishonorable, resorting to pragmatic means to continue existing. What jerks.
...prettifying our surroundings!
