Frequently Asked Questions
Why does 'amén' have an accent mark?
Spanish rules dictate that words ending in 'n', 's', or a vowel are normally stressed on the second-to-last syllable. Since 'amén' is stressed on the last syllable (a-MEN), it requires the accent mark over the 'e' to show that it breaks the normal stress pattern.
