Hyphenation ofcompenetrar-nos-emos

Analysis of "compenetrar-nos-emos" (Portuguese)

1. Pronunciation Considerations:

The word "compenetrar-nos-emos" is a conjugated form of the verb "compenetrar" (to permeate, to understand deeply) in the first-person plural future subjunctive. Pronunciation will follow standard European Portuguese, though some Brazilian variations exist (discussed later).

2. Syllable Division:

Following Portuguese syllabification rules, the word breaks down as follows (using only original letters):

com-pe-ne-trar-nos-e-mos

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: com- (Latin) - Indicates completion or intensification.
• Root: penetrar (Latin paeneterare - to penetrate) - The core meaning of entering deeply.
• Suffixes:
  • -nos (Latin) - Pronoun clitic, first-person plural (we).
  • -emos (Latin) - Future subjunctive verbal ending.

4. Stress Identification:

The primary stress falls on the penultimate syllable of the root: trar.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/kõpeneˈtɾaɾ.nɔʃ.ˈe.muʃ/

6. Syllable List with IPA and Rule Explanations:

• com: /kõ/ - Open syllable. Rule: Syllables are formed around a vowel. No consonant clusters prevent separation.
• pe: /pɛ/ - Open syllable. Rule: Syllables are formed around a vowel.
• ne: /nɛ/ - Open syllable. Rule: Syllables are formed around a vowel.
• trar: /tɾaɾ/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Consonant clusters (tr) are generally maintained within a syllable. Stress falls here.
• nos: /nɔʃ/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Syllables are formed around a vowel.
• e: /ɛ/ - Open syllable. Rule: Single vowel constitutes a syllable.
• mos: /muʃ/ - Closed syllable. Rule: Syllables are formed around a vowel.

7. Syllable Division Rules Applied:

• Vowel-Based Syllabification: Each vowel generally forms the nucleus of a syllable.
• Consonant Cluster Handling: Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable unless they are easily separable based on phonotactic constraints.
• Penultimate Stress: In Portuguese, words ending in vowels, 'n', or 's' are generally stressed on the penultimate syllable.

8. Exceptions/Special Cases:

• The nasal vowel /õ/ in "com" is a common feature of Portuguese and doesn't affect syllabification.
• The clitic pronouns "-nos" and the verbal ending "-emos" are treated as separate syllables despite being attached to the verb.

9. Grammatical Role & Syllabification Shifts:

"Compenetrar" as an infinitive (e.g., "É importante compenetrar-se nos problemas.") would have the stress on the penultimate syllable of the root ("-ne-trar"). The syllabification would remain largely the same, but the stress position would shift.

10. Regional Variations:

Brazilian Portuguese may exhibit slight variations in vowel pronunciation and stress timing, but the syllabification would remain consistent.

11. Definition & Semantics:

• Part of Speech: Verb (conjugated form)
• Definitions:
  • "To permeate": To spread throughout something.
  • "To understand deeply": To fully grasp the meaning or significance of something.
• Translation: To permeate, to understand deeply.
• Synonyms: impregnar, penetrar, compreender profundamente.
• Antonyms: superficializar, ignorar.
• Examples:
  • "A ideia começou a compenetrar-se na mente dos alunos." (The idea began to permeate the students' minds.)
  • "É preciso compenetrar-nos com os problemas da comunidade." (We need to understand deeply the problems of the community.)

12. Phonological Comparison:

• cantar: can-tar (similar open/closed syllable structure)
• falar: fa-lar (similar open/closed syllable structure)
• escrever: es-cre-ver (more syllables, but similar vowel-based division)

The key difference is the presence of the clitic pronouns and the future subjunctive ending in "compenetrar-nos-emos," which adds complexity but doesn't alter the fundamental syllabification principles.
