What is a GROWING diphthong

The diphthongs and hiatuses They are one of those linguistic characteristics that we have been studying from the earliest educational stages and that continue to squeeze our heads. And it is that they do not only suppose a phonic trait, but also affect with regard to the division of syllables of the words. In fact, it is precisely in this last aspect that we can find the most headaches when it comes to differentiating one from the other.

In addition, only within diphthongs do we find different types depending on the order of the vowels that compose it and what they are. Knowing this, in a teacher we will explain what is a growing diphthong with examples. You follow us?

Before explaining what an increasing diphthong is we should, just in case, remember what is a diphthong. Well, a diphthong is a conjunction of two different vowels that are united in a single syllable (for instance, my-le-nio).

While in a hiatus the vowels that compose it should be separated when dividing a word into syllables, in a diphthong they should not. On the other hand, and underlining what has been said above, a diphthong, as its name indicates, is

composed of two vowels and we should not confuse it with triphthongs, which would be composed of three contiguous vowels.

Definition of increasing diphthong

Knowing what a diphthong is, we should now go on to know what a diphthong is. increasing diphthong. Unlike decreasing diphthongs, increasing diphthongs are composed of a weak or closed vowel (which would be the i and the or) that precedes a strong or open vowel (which would be the to, the and and the or).

Counting all these possible combinations, we find six types of words with increasing vowels depending on the diphthong they contain: ia, ie, io, ua, ue, uo.
