2. Syllable Division:

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: ad- (Latin, meaning "to" or "towards") - functions as an intensifier or to indicate direction.
• Root: ministrere (Latin, meaning "to serve, manage") - the core meaning of administration.
• Suffixes:
  • -ation- (Latin, nominalizing suffix, forming a noun of action)
  • -s- (Danish, plural marker)
  • -udgifter- (Danish, meaning "expenses") - a compound noun element.
  • -nes (Danish, genitive plural suffix)

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/aˌmiːnistraˈt͡siːɔnsuˈðɪftɐˌneːs/

6. Edge Case Review:

Danish allows for complex consonant clusters, which can sometimes lead to ambiguity in syllable division. However, the principle of maximizing onsets generally resolves these cases. The 'r' sound is often vocalized or reduced in unstressed syllables.

7. Grammatical Role:

The word is primarily a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its grammatical function within a sentence (e.g., as a subject or object).

10. Division Rules:

• Vowel Nucleus: Each syllable must have a vowel nucleus.
• Sonority Sequencing: Syllable structure follows the sonority sequencing principle, with sounds decreasing in sonority from the beginning to the end of the syllable.

The genitive plural suffix "-nes" can sometimes be pronounced with a reduced vowel, but the syllabification remains consistent. Regional variations in pronunciation might affect vowel quality but not syllable boundaries.
