Consonant + Vowel

Italian syllables generally follow a CV (consonant-vowel) structure. This rule applies to most syllables in the word.

Geminate Consonant Rule

Geminate consonants (like 'zz') create a longer syllable and influence syllable weight.

  • The geminate consonant 'zz' affects syllable weight and pronunciation.
  • Regional variations in the pronunciation of 'z' (e.g., /ts/ vs. /dz/) exist but do not alter the syllable division.
