• "realisticamente" (realistically): gior-na-li-sti-ca-men-te vs. re-a-li-sti-ca-men-te. Both follow the same pattern of suffixation and stress on the penultimate syllable.
• "economicamente" (economically): gior-na-li-sti-ca-men-te vs. e-co-no-mi-ca-men-te. Similar structure with the -mente suffix and penultimate stress.
• "scientificamente" (scientifically): gior-na-li-sti-ca-men-te vs. sci-en-ti-fi-ca-men-te. Again, the same pattern of stress and suffixation. The difference lies in the root's initial consonant cluster.

10. Syllable Analysis Breakdown:

12. Division Rules:

• Rule 1: Initial Syllable Separation: The first syllable is always separated.
• Rule 2: Vowel-Consonant Split: Syllables are generally split after vowels.
• Rule 3: Consonant Cluster Maintenance: Consonant clusters forming a single phoneme remain within a syllable.
