• Part of Speech: Verb (2nd person plural, conditional present)

• Examples:

9. Phonological Comparison:

• rattaccare: rat-ta-cca-re - Shares the rat- prefix. Syllable division is similar, demonstrating the consistent application of rules for prefixes.
• temperare: tem-pe-ra-re - The infinitive form of the root verb. Stress pattern is different (penultimate syllable), but the core syllable structure remains consistent.

10. Syllable Analysis Breakdown:

11. Division Rules Applied:

• Vowel-Consonant Division: Syllables are generally divided after vowels.
• Consonant Cluster Resolution: Italian allows consonant clusters, but they are often resolved based on sonority.
• Geminate Consonant Rule: Geminate consonants (double consonants) are treated as a single unit within a syllable, affecting syllable weight.

12. Special Considerations:

The geminate 'r' in "rattemperereste" is a key feature influencing pronunciation and syllable weight. The conditional ending "-este" is a common suffix that doesn't pose specific syllabification challenges.

13. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in Italian pronunciation are minimal for this word. However, some speakers might slightly reduce the vowel quality in unstressed syllables.
