Pronunciation rule
(1) For words ending in n, s or vowels, the stress is usually on the penultimate syllable, and there is no stress symbol.
(2) Except for words ending in consonants other than N and S, the stress is on the last syllable, and there is no stress symbol.
(3) Stress words other than the above two items. When the stress of some words changes, the meaning of words changes, so we should pay special attention to finding the correct stress position, such as mas (but) and más (more), papa (potato) and papá (pope).
(4) No matter how many syllables a word has, its stress is generally only one.
(5) When o is used with numerals, it must be stressed to distinguish it from 0 (zero, cero), such as 17ó 18( 17 or 18).
