Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable unless they can be naturally separated by a vowel sound. This avoids creating syllables with no vowel sound.

Final Syllable Stress

French typically stresses the final syllable of a word or phrase.

  • The silent 't' in 'métre' influences the syllabification, even though it is not pronounced.
