One Form for All
This word doesn't change when it becomes plural. You say 'la síntesis' for one and 'las síntesis' for many.
The Stress Mark
The accent on the 'í' is mandatory because the voice naturally hits the third-to-last syllable (this is called an 'esdrújula' word).
Plural Error
Mistake: “las síntesises”
