Analysis of "computarizareis" (Spanish)

1. Pronunciation Considerations:

The word "computarizareis" is a conjugated form of the verb "computarizar" (to computerize). It's a relatively modern word, borrowing from English "computer" and adding the Spanish verbal suffix "-izar." The pronunciation follows standard Spanish phonological rules, with clear vowel sounds and predictable consonant articulation.

2. Syllable Division:

The syllable division, adhering strictly to the original orthography, is: com-pu-ta-ri-za-reis

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: com- (Latin, meaning "with," "together," or intensifying) - functions as a verbal prefix.
• Root: puta- (from computare - Latin, meaning "to calculate," "to reckon") - the core meaning related to calculation. Note the vowel change due to Spanish phonological rules.
• Suffix: -rizar- (Spanish, verbal suffix derived from English "computer") - indicates the action of computerizing.
• Suffix: -eis- (Spanish, 2nd person plural present indicative ending) - indicates "you all" (vosotros/vosotras) are performing the action.

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the penultimate syllable: ri. This is determined by the general rule that words ending in vowels (including diphthongs) are stressed on the penultimate syllable.
