Word Parts
Vowel-centric division
Syllables are built around vowel sounds, aiming to include all vowels in a syllable.
Consonant cluster preservation
Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless they are easily separable.
Avoid single-consonant syllable onset
Dutch avoids starting a syllable with a single consonant if possible, preferring to include preceding vowels or consonants.
- The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morphemic boundaries.
- The final '-en' can be reduced in informal speech, but this doesn't affect the underlying syllable structure.
