In this article we will see a complete list of paroxyton and proparoxyton words.
Paroxytonic words are those in which the most intense pronunciation occurs in the penultimate syllable due to the tonic accent. In this article we will see a complete list of paroxytonic words for you to study.
Remembering that when we mention tonic accent, we are not talking about a literal graphic accent. Do not confuse stressed syllables with stressed syllables. Also, do not confuse paroxytones with proparoxytons in which it is mandatory to have a graphic accent.

How much is a PAROXYTE accentuated?
We know that paroxytonic words usually do not have accents, as their accent is tonic. Still, there are paroxytonic words that are accentuated on certain occasions that are:
- Ended in "R" as odd;
- Terminated in “L” like for example tunnel
- Ended in "N" as Eden;
- Ended in “X” like a phoenix;
- Ended in “PS” as biceps;
- Ended in ã, ã, ã, ã as magnet;
- Ended in one, one, om, ons as an album;
- Ended in “US” as a virus;
- Ended in i, is like iris;
- Ended in hey, this is how hockey;
I even wonder why I accent so much? No one will fail to miss the reading or understanding of the word because of most of these accents. That is why the Portuguese language is so difficult.
