Frequently Asked Questions
Why does 'función' have an accent but 'funciones' does not?
In Spanish, we usually put the stress on the second-to-last syllable for words ending in 's'. Since 'fun-CIO-nes' naturally puts the stress where it belongs, we don't need the written accent anymore!
Can I use 'funciones' for my job title?
Not exactly. Use 'puesto' for your title, but use 'funciones' to describe the actual tasks you do every day at your desk.
