The number of syllables that a word has allows us to classify it within the different categories of the language. We know that the Spanish language is one of the richest and most complex languages currently spoken, and for this reason it can be very fascinating. Within these classifications we find disyllabic words.
The disyllabic words They are part of the words that have more than one syllable, these are known as multisyllabic words. All words that have more than one syllable are called polysyllables and are different from monosyllabic words, which are those that only have a single syllable.
What are disyllabic words?
We know that a syllable is the smallest unit of articulated sounds into which a word can be divided. Syllable classifications allow us to know the number of articulated sounds that a word has.
Disyllabic words are those that are made up of two syllables that we can visualize with a simple separation.
For example:
Plane → It has two syllables so it is taken as a two-syllable word.
Frozen → It has three syllables. NO It is a disyllabic word.
The etymology of disyllabic words comes from Greek where bi means “two” and syllable which means “syllables”, in this sense its meaning is literally “two syllables” to refer to all those words that contain this number of syllables in their composition.

Esdrújulas or sobresdrújulas words cannot be disyllabic words since these require more than two syllables for their accentuation.

If they are acute words, they must have an accent if the word ends in n, or a vowel. On the contrary, if it is a serious word, it should be checked when it does not end in n, or a vowel. The stress of disyllabic words that are flat or low is opposite to the stress when they are acute.
