Hyphenation ofstabilizzeresti

Analysis of "stabilizzeresti" (Italian)

1. Pronunciation: The word "stabilizzeresti" is pronounced with a relatively even rhythm, with the stress falling on the penultimate syllable. The 'z' sounds are pronounced as voiced fricatives /dz/ and /ts/ depending on their position.

2. Syllable Division: sta-bi-liz-ze-re-sti

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: sta- (Latin stāre - to stand) - aspectual prefix indicating an ongoing or iterative action.
• Root: biliz- (from Latin stabilis - stable) - forming the base of the verb related to stabilization.
• Suffix: -izzer- (Italian verb-forming suffix, derived from French -iser) - used to create verbs from nouns or adjectives.

4. Stress Identification: The primary stress falls on the penultimate syllable: "re".

5. Phonetic Transcription: /stabillitˈt͡sereʃti/

6. Edge Case Review: The double 'z' presents a slight edge case. Italian generally prefers consonant clusters to be broken up for syllabification, but in this case, the 'zz' is treated as a single sound and remains within the same syllable.
