Stress Placement
Stress falls on the antepenultimate syllable when the word ends in a consonant other than 'n' or 's'.
- The 'v' and 'n' sequence is not a typical syllable break point, but it's clearly part of the root *venir*.
- Regional variations in pronunciation of /β/ (sometimes closer to /b/).
- The *vosotros* form is not used in Latin America, leading to a different verb conjugation and syllabification.
