CV/CVC Syllabification

French syllables generally follow a Consonant-Vowel (CV) or Consonant-Vowel-Consonant (CVC) structure.

Avoid Single Intervocalic Consonants

French avoids leaving a single consonant between vowels, leading to syllable division around it.

Nasal Vowel Syllables

Nasal vowels form the nucleus of a syllable.

Stress Placement

Stress generally falls on the final syllable unless it's a schwa, in which case it falls on the penultimate syllable.

  • The length of the word and the presence of the nasal vowel /ɑ̃/ require careful consideration.
  • The rule of avoiding single intervocalic consonants is crucial in dividing 'men-ta'.
