Vowel-Based Syllabification

French syllables generally center around vowel sounds. Each vowel (or vowel digraph) typically forms the nucleus of a syllable.

Consonant Cluster Handling

Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless they are complex or interrupt a natural vowel sequence.

Prefix/Suffix Boundaries

Prefixes and suffixes are often separated into distinct syllables, especially if they contain vowels.

  • The conditional ending '-eraient' can sometimes lead to a slight weakening of the vowel sound, but this doesn't affect the syllabification.
