Study Notes

Vowels

Vowels in Spanish are A, E, I, O, and U.

Open Vowels

Open vowels include A, E, and O.

Closed Vowels

Closed vowels consist of I and U.

Diptongos

Diptongos occur when two vowels are pronounced together within a single syllable.
They may be formed by combinations of closed + closed vowels or open + closed vowels.

Hiatos

Hiatos occur when two vowels are separated into two syllables.
They arise from combinations of open + open vowels or closed + open vowels.
In cases where two strong vowels appear together, it is classified as a hiato instead of a diptongo, as they are pronounced separately.
A weak vowel with an accent mark (í or ú) behaves as a strong vowel, leading to combinations like "ía" being classified as a hiato.
