Vowel-Based Division

Syllables are generally formed around vowel sounds, creating open syllables where possible.

Consonant Cluster Rule

Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable unless they are exceptionally difficult to pronounce.

Final Schwa Rule

A final schwa (e) often forms its own syllable, but can be elided in rapid speech.

  • The double 'n' does not pose a syllabification challenge.
  • The nasal vowel /ɔ̃/ is a standard feature of French phonology.
  • The imperfect subjunctive mood does not alter the syllabification rules.
