Why does this change?
- Irregular
- Doesn't follow a predictable pattern in at least one tense — these forms are worth memorizing individually rather than deriving from a rule.
- present: sonrío, sonríes, sonríe, sonreímos, sonríen
Keeps a written accent on the í in every present-tense form rather than changing a vowel — not a true stem change (same pattern as reír, with the son- prefix).
