    Proparoxytone words are those whose stressed syllable (the one that is pronounced with greater emphasis ) is the penultimate. These types of words always have an accent . For example: I phone you, compass, cé lula. Therefore, for a word to be proparoxytone, it must have at least three syllables . For example:page, label , bird .

    When do proparoxytone words have an accent?

    According to the regulations, proparoxytone words always have an orthographic accent or tilde, regardless of the letter they end with. For example: number , very bad .

    Watch out:In the case of proparoxytone words that correspond to adverbs ending in -mente , the accentuation of the adjective that originates them is maintained and the rule of always placing a tilde is rejected. For example:happily minded , swiftly minded, fully minded.

    Sonority of proparoxytone words

    The sonority of the proparoxytone words makes them used very frequently in poetry and music. Some poets, over time, have taken certain licenses to "play" with these kinds of words.

    The song A tú , written and performed by the Catalan singer-songwriter Joan Manuel Serrat, is a clear example of this, since it presents a large number and variety of rhymes with these types of words. The first verses of this song are transcribed below with the proparoxytone words highlighted in bold:

    To you who runs after success , movie

    executive ,

    aggressive and energetic man with political

    ambitions .

    To you who are a practical

    man and live in a downtown apartment , watering plastic

    flowers

    and listening to the phone .

    To you who know numbers

    and appear on more than one payroll ,

    who are already quite a fanatic ,

    with a solid position .
