Vowel-Based Syllabification

Syllables are primarily formed around vowel sounds. Each vowel sound typically constitutes a syllable.

Consonant Cluster Handling

Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable unless they can be easily separated phonetically. The 'str' cluster is an example of a maintained cluster.

Final Syllable Stress

French generally places stress on the final syllable of a phrase or word.

  • The 'str' consonant cluster is a common exception to the rule of breaking consonant clusters.
  • The nasal vowel /ɑ̃/ in '-sent' requires careful consideration in syllabification.
  • The imperfect subjunctive form influences the ending, but not the core syllabification principles.
