Open Syllables

French favors open syllables (ending in a vowel). This rule is applied throughout the word to maximize vowel-final syllables.

Consonant Clusters

Consonant clusters are broken up to create open syllables where possible, but not if it results in an unnatural pronunciation.

Avoid Stranded Consonants

Consonants are not left isolated between vowels. This is evident in the division between 'mo' and 'mé'.

  • The final 's' is silent, a common feature of French nouns.
  • The 'g' in 'stalagmo' is a soft 'g' sound, but this does not affect the syllabification.
