about syllable separation.
Syllable Separation
All words are divided into syllables. A syllable is the part of the word that we say all at once.
like little pieces of words. All syllables have at least one vowel:
bo-né: two syllables ar-vo-re: three syllables
ca-der-ne-ta: four syllables De-ter-mi-ned: five syllables
Pa-ra-le-le-pi-pe-do: seven syllables
otorhinolaryngologist: ten syllables
anti-constitutionalistically: twelve syllables
It is possible to have more than one vowel in a syllable. What does not exist is a syllable that does not have a vowel:
Irr-brother: two syllables Trei-na-dor: three syllables
De-di-ca-tion: four syllables
When we separate the syllables of a word, we must take some care:
1. The digraphs ch, lh, nh, gu, qu are not separated:
a-che-gar son ma-nhã fidget any
2. We do not separate the meetings of another consonant +lour:
to embrace the free electric applause
3. We do not separate diphthongs and triphthongs:
want what's the hat Uruguay
4. We separate vowels that form hiatuses:
saída queen root
5. Always separate the same vowels and the digraphs rr, ss, sc, xc, sç:
Assisted coordination cat Ar-Rastou
