Guess what we're talking about today! No mistakes, huh!
In case you said it was about the verbs... you just got it right! The prize for this discovery? Ah! Do not know? Well, there's nothing better than expanding your knowledge of all those aspects that concern the language we speak, so you don't run the risk of making any mistakes, do you agree? This is the gratification we want to give you, always. That way, from now on, you'll know a little more about the rhizotonic forms and the arizotonic formss.
Surely you remember the features relating to the tonic accent, is not true? If you have forgotten any details, just use the text "Tonic and graphic accent – what's the difference between them”? (). Once you have done this, know that the rhizotonic forms they are those in which the tonic accent, that is, the one pronounced with more intensity, is located in the radical. Don't you remember the radical?
It's simple, radical it's that little bit of the word that never changes. Let's get to know some examples of verbs in which we can see everything we say, relying on the verb "to speak", conjugated in the present tense and the present tense of the subjunctive:
Knowing the aspects of our language expands our competence, both in speaking and in writing
The rhizotonic forms only occur in singular and third plural persons
From the table, we can see that the tonic accent manifested itself in all grammatical people in the radical – expressed by “fal-”. So record forever: there are only eight ways rhizotonic: me, you, he and they, both from the present indicative and from the present of the subjunctive.
Now we will know the arizotonic forms, which are those in which the tonic accent occurs outside the radical, that is, in the endings. Taking the example of the verb “to speak”, let's see once more:
The arrhizotonic forms are manifested in the endings
See how simple it is? In the rhizotonic, the accent is found in the radical; and in the arizotonics, it finds itself outside of it (in the endings).
