darsela? accent?
Okay, so I wrote the following sentence...
Sí, voy a darsela.
It's using direct and indirect object pronouns. Would there be be an accent anywhere in darsela because usually it's on the third syllable, not counting the la, but there's only two other syllables. Thanks.

The words with stress in the third syllabe counting from right to left, have always accent.
dársela
"Tilde" is the graphic mark used over the vowels ... á é í ó ú
All spanish words have accent (syllable where you make emphasis when pronouncing the word), but only some of them have tilde (graphic mark), according to ortographic rules.
One of these rules says that "esdrújula" words always have tilde.
We say that a word is "esdrújula" when the accent, I mean when we make emphasis when pronouncing the word, is on the antepenultimate syllable, so when it happens you must put the graphic accent on the vowel of the antepenultimate syllable.
Example: Cámara, látigo... etc
Yup, there is, it is on a, hence, dársela.
