Vowel Nucleus Rule

Each syllable must contain a vowel sound. Syllables are formed around vowel nuclei.

Consonant Cluster Rule

Danish allows for consonant clusters, but attempts are made to avoid breaking them up unless absolutely necessary.

Open Syllable Preference

Danish favors open syllables (CV) whenever possible.

  • The long consonant clusters in 'udviklings' and 'bestræbelse' are permissible in Danish and do not require syllable breaks within the clusters.
  • Danish stress is weak and predictable, but the primary stress on 'egns' and 'bel' is noticeable.
