Vowel-Based Syllabification

French syllabification prioritizes vowel sounds. Each vowel generally forms the nucleus of a syllable.

Consonant Cluster Avoidance

Consonant clusters are generally not broken unless they are complex or followed by a vowel that necessitates a separation.

  • The 'ct' cluster is a potential point of ambiguity, but the following vowel dictates the syllable break.
  • French stress is generally weak and falls on the last syllable of a rhythmic group.
  • The word is a highly inflected verb form, which influences its pronunciation and stress.
