9. Phonological Comparison:

• "experimentez" (I experiment): i-n-e-ri-men-te-z. Similar structure, stress on the penultimate syllable.

The differences in stress placement are due to the varying suffixes and the number of syllables. Romanian stress is generally penultimate, but suffixes can shift it.

Here's a breakdown of each syllable, with rules applied:

• i-: Open syllable, containing only a vowel. Rule: Every vowel constitutes a syllable.
• ne-: Open syllable, vowel followed by consonant. Rule: Vowel + consonant forms a syllable.
• ks-: Closed syllable, consonant cluster followed by a vowel. Rule: Consonant clusters are kept together as much as possible, but a vowel must follow to form a syllable.
• pe-: Open syllable, vowel followed by consonant. Rule: Vowel + consonant forms a syllable.
• ri-: Open syllable, vowel followed by consonant. Rule: Vowel + consonant forms a syllable.
• men-: Closed syllable, vowel followed by consonant cluster. Rule: Vowel + consonant cluster forms a syllable.
• ta-: Open syllable, vowel followed by consonant. Rule: Vowel + consonant forms a syllable.
• te-: Open syllable, vowel. Rule: Every vowel constitutes a syllable.
