Word ends in vowel, n or s = no tilde, stress on second to last syllable. 2. Word ends in other letter = no tilde, stress on last syllable 1. gato = gato Chile = Chile 2. hablar = hablar comer = comer ***Any time the stress falls on another syllable there is a tilde to mark stress*** estúpido = estúpido éxito = éxito lápiz = lápiz
