100 Examples of Heptasyllable Words

The seven-syllable words are those that are composed of seven syllables. For example: decoder (de-co-di-fi-ca-do-ra), meteorological (meteorological), Latin America (La-ti-no-a-mé-ri-ca).

Words contain one or more syllables (those units of the spoken chain that consist of one or more sounds, whose nucleus is usually a vowel and that are separated from others by a short and inconspicuous pause).

Syllables are represented in written language by one or more letters and can be stressed or unstressed. The stressed syllables are pronounced more intensely within a word. The unstressed syllables they are pronounced with less emphasis than stressed syllables. For example: re (unstressed) – pre (unstressed) – sen (unstressed) – ta (unstressed) – you (unstressed) – saw (unstressed) – dad (tonic).

Types of words according to their number of syllables

Depending on the number of syllables they have, words can be:

• monosyllables. They have only one syllable. Generally, they never have a tilde, except for those that have diacritic tilde, that is, the orthographic sign that allows us to differentiate two words that are written the same, but have different meanings. For example: that/ what.
• bisyllables. They have two syllables. Are sharp when the last syllable is stressed (city-dad). Are serious when the penultimate syllable is stressed (plus-til).
• trisyllables. They have three syllables. They are acute when the last syllable is stressed (em-pe-czar). They are serious when the penultimate syllable is stressed (ga-nan-Inc). Are esdrújulas when the penultimate syllable is stressed (it-gi-co).
• tetrasyllables. They have four syllables. They are acute when the last syllable is stressed (pro-fe-sio-end). They are serious when the penultimate syllable is stressed (ex-pe-laugh-Inc). They are esdrújulas when the penultimate syllable is stressed (a-na-li-sis). Are sobresdrújulas when the syllable before the antepenultimate is stressed (gave-ga-me-lo).
• pentasyllables. They have five syllables. They are acute when the last syllable is stressed (or-ga-ni-za-tion). They are serious when the penultimate syllable is stressed (spice-lys-ta). They are esdrújulas when the penultimate syllable is stressed (es-pe-ci-fi-co). They are sobresdrújulas when the stressed syllable is before the penultimate (pla-ci-da-men-te).
• hexasyllables. They have six syllables. They are acute when the last syllable is stressed (dis-po-ni-bi-li-dad). They are serious when the penultimate syllable is stressed (ad-mi-nis-tra-you-vo). They are esdrújulas when the penultimate syllable is stressed (im-for-so-you-yes-mo). They are sobresdrújulas when the syllable before the antepenultimate is stressed (i-ma-gi-na-te-lo).
• Heptasyllables. They have seven syllables. They are acute when the last syllable is stressed (i-rres-pon-sa-bi-li-dad). They are serious when the penultimate syllable is stressed (an-ti-in-fla-ma-to-river). They are esdrújulas when the penultimate syllable is stressed (electrode-month-ti-co). They are sobresdrújulas when the syllable before the antepenultimate is stressed (co-mu-ni-dog-do-know-it).
