Each vowel sound generally forms the nucleus of a syllable. Consonants are assigned to the following vowel.

Nasal Vowel Rule

Nasal vowels (/ɔ̃/, /ɛ̃/, /ɑ̃/, /œ̃/) function as syllable nuclei themselves.

  • The imperfect subjunctive mood is relatively rare in modern French.
  • The nasal vowel /ɔ̃/ requires special consideration as it forms a syllable on its own.
  • The 'ass' infix is a morphological feature specific to this verb conjugation.
