Usage Note
Repercusión is often used in the plural (repercusiones) when discussing the effects of an event, much like English 'repercussions'. It belongs to a more formal register; in everyday speech consecuencias or efectos are more common. The written accent on the final syllable marks the stress, which breaks the default penultimate pattern for words ending in -n.
Examples
"Las repercusiones de la crisis son graves."
Natural Translation
The repercussions of the crisis are serious.
