2. Syllable Division:

The syllable division will be based on the following Spanish syllabification rules:

• Rule 1: Vowel-based division: Syllables are generally formed around vowels. Each vowel typically forms a syllable.
• Rule 2: Consonant clusters: Consonant clusters are split according to pronounceability. If two consonants can be pronounced together as a single sound, they remain in the same syllable. Otherwise, they are separated.
• Rule 3: Diphthongs & Triphthongs: Diphthongs and triphthongs are considered single vowel sounds and belong to the same syllable.
• Rule 4: Weak Consonants: Weak consonants (like 's', 'r') often attach to the following vowel.

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: im- (Latin, prefix meaning "not" or "in") - negates or intensifies the verb.
• Root: presionar (Latin pressare - to press) - the core meaning of applying force or influence.
• Suffix: -ar (Latin, infinitive marker) - indicates the verb's infinitive form.
• Suffix: -amos (Spanish, first-person plural imperfect subjunctive ending) - indicates the subject ("we") and the tense/mood.

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the antepenultimate syllable (the third syllable from the end). This is because the word ends in a vowel and the penultimate syllable is not stressed.
