How to use it
Ratón means 'mouse' (animal or computer). Masculine. Plural ratones drops the accent — stress shifts naturally to the penultimate syllable.
Common mistake
Drop the accent in the plural (ratón → ratones) — the stress falls naturally on the second syllable now. Same word for the computer device.
