How are you, Marina Perez?
To "exacerbate" is to make something bad worse or severe. It could be a bad situation, a problem, or even a negative feeling.
'Exacerbate' can be divided into four syllables: ex-ac-er-bate. This can be pronounced as 'ig-zas-er-beit'. The /r/ sound at the third syllable is pronounced if using the American pronunciation, or it can be silent if you're going to use the British pronunciation.
