    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.
