100 Examples of Strong and Weak Vowels

There are five vowels in Spanish: A, E, I, O and U. They are classified as:

  • strong vowels. Also called open vowels, they are the ones that can act as the syllabic nucleus since the greatest impact of the voice falls on them. Phonetically speaking, they need a greater opening of the mouth (separate the tongue from the palate). are the vowels A, AND, EITHER. For example: banaandra, andnoanoeithertrazeither.
  • weak vowels. Also known as closed vowels, they are those that, depending on the position they occupy within the syllable, can form diphthongs or triphthongs when they are unstressed and adjacent to a strong vowel or a hiatus (if they act as a syllabic nucleus). Phonetically speaking, when pronouncing them a maximum opening of the mouth is not needed (they require a minimum space between the tongue and the palate). are the vowels Yo Y OR. For example: Yonotuir, YoglorhornaYor.

A vowel is that sound of speech in whose articulation there is no obstacle to the exit of the air. In this way, the vowel sound is directly opposed to the consonant, in that there are elements that make it difficult for the air to escape.

This classification is essential to be able to count the syllables of a word and to understand the rules of accentuation of diphthongs, triphthongs and hiatuses.
