Vowel-Consonant Division

Syllables are generally divided between vowels and consonants, creating open or closed syllables.

Geminate Consonant Rule

Geminate consonants (double consonants) are typically maintained within a single syllable, influencing syllable weight.

Prefix Rule

Prefixes are generally treated as separate syllables, even if they are short.

Final Vowel Rule

  • The geminate consonant 'tt' requires maintaining the doubled consonant within the 'to' syllable.
  • The prefix 'ri-' is consistently treated as a separate syllable.
  • Stress placement follows the general rule of penultimate stress in Italian, but is influenced by the syllable weight created by the geminate consonant.
