Morphemes are the smallest meaningful parts of words: prefixes (beginning), roots (core meaning), and suffixes (ending)
Prefix: elektron-
From Greek 'elektron' (ἤλεκτρον) meaning amber, referring to electrons. Indicates the type of microscope.
Root: mikro-
From Greek 'mikros' (μικρός) meaning small. Indicates the scale.
Suffix: -skop
From Greek 'skopeō' (σκοπέω) meaning to view. Indicates an instrument for viewing.
A microscope that uses a beam of accelerated electrons as a source of illumination.
Translation: Electron microscope

Detailed Analysis:
Norwegian Nynorsk Word Analysis: elektronmikroskop
1. Examination & Pronunciation:
The word "elektronmikroskop" (electron microscope) is a compound noun in Norwegian Nynorsk. It's pronounced with relatively straightforward vowel and consonant sounds, though the 'k' cluster can present a slight articulatory challenge. The stress is generally on the penultimate syllable.
2. Syllable Division:
Following Nynorsk syllable division rules, which generally favor open syllables (CV) where possible, and respecting consonant clusters, the division is as follows (detailed in the JSON output).
3. Morphemic Analysis:
- elektron-: Prefix, derived from Greek elektron (ἤλεκτρον) meaning "amber," historically associated with static electricity, and now referring to electrons. Function: Specifies the type of microscope.
- mikro-: Prefix, derived from Greek mikros (μικρός) meaning "small." Function: Indicates the scale of the object being viewed.
- -skop: Suffix, derived from Greek skopeō (σκοπέω) meaning "to view, examine." Function: Indicates an instrument for viewing.
4. Stress Identification:
The primary stress falls on the second-to-last syllable: "kop".
5. Phonetic Transcription:
/ˈelɛktrɔnˌmɪkrɔskɔp/
6. Edge Case Review:
The 'ktr' cluster is a relatively common but potentially challenging sequence in Nynorsk. Syllabification needs to account for this without breaking up a natural consonant cluster.
7. Grammatical Role:
"elektronmikroskop" functions primarily as a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its grammatical context (e.g., in a genitive construction).
8. Definition & Semantics:
- Definition: An electron microscope is a microscope that uses a beam of accelerated electrons as a source of illumination.
- Grammatical Category: Noun (masculine gender, definite singular: elektronmikroskopet)
- Translation: Electron microscope
- Synonyms: None readily available as it's a specific scientific instrument.
- Antonyms: Light microscope (lys-mikroskop)
- Examples:
- "Forskarane brukte eit elektronmikroskop for å studere viruset." (The researchers used an electron microscope to study the virus.)
- "Elektronmikroskopet viste detaljar som ikkje var synlege med eit vanleg mikroskop." (The electron microscope showed details that were not visible with a regular microscope.)
9. Phonological Comparison:
- datamaskin (computer): da-ta-ma-skin. Similar syllable structure with consonant clusters. Stress on the penultimate syllable.
- fotografisk (photographic): fo-to-gra-fisk. Similar vowel patterns and consonant clusters. Stress on the third syllable.
- universitet (university): u-ni-ver-si-tet. Demonstrates a longer word with multiple syllables, but follows similar CV-based syllabification principles. Stress on the third syllable.
The differences in stress placement are due to the inherent rhythmic patterns of the words and the weight of the syllables.

What is hyphenation
Hyphenation is the process of dividing words across lines in print or on websites. It involves inserting hyphens (-) where a word breaks to continue on the next line.
Proper hyphenation improves readability by reducing the unevenness of word spacing and unnecessary large gaps. It also helps avoid confusion that may occur when part of a word carries over. Ideal hyphenation should break words according to pronunciation and syllables. Most word processors and publishing apps have automated tools to handle hyphenation effectively based on language rules and dictionaries. Though subtle, proper hyphenation improves overall typography and reading comfort.
