The word "fulltidstilsett" is a compound word in Norwegian Nynorsk, meaning "full-time employed". It's pronounced with relatively straightforward vowel and consonant sounds, though the 'tt' represents a geminate consonant (a long consonant sound).

2. Syllable Division:

Following Nynorsk syllable division rules, which generally favor maximizing onsets (consonant clusters at the beginning of a syllable), the word is divided as follows (see JSON output for the orthographic representation).

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• full-: Prefix, originating from Old Norse fullr, meaning "full". Morphological function: Adverbial modifier.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

6. Edge Case Review:

The geminate consonants ('tt' and 'ss') are crucial for the pronunciation and must be represented in the phonetic transcription. Nynorsk allows for relatively complex consonant clusters, which are generally maintained within syllables.

7. Grammatical Role:

"fulltidstilsett" functions primarily as an adjective, describing someone who is employed full-time. It can also function as a past participle verb. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of grammatical function.

8. Definition & Semantics:

• Definition: Employed full-time.
• Translation: Full-time employed (English)
• Grammatical Category: Adjective/Past Participle
• Synonyms: Heltidsansatt (more common Bokmål equivalent)
• Antonyms: Deltidsansatt (part-time employed)
• Examples:
  • "Han er ein fulltidstilsett lærar." (He is a full-time employed teacher.)
  • "Ho vart fulltidstilsett etter prøvetida." (She became full-time employed after the probationary period.)

9. Phonological Comparison:

• langtidsparkering: (long-term parking) - lang-tids-park-e-ring - Similar syllable structure with compound elements. Stress on the second element.
• arbeidstilsynet: (the working environment authority) - ar-beids-til-syn-et - Compound word, stress on the third element.
• høytidsdager: (holidays) - høy-tids-da-ger - Compound word, stress on the second element.

The differences in stress placement are due to the varying number of syllables and the inherent rhythmic patterns of the compound words. "fulltidstilsett" has a relatively simple structure, leading to stress on the second element.

10. Division Rules:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., stil).
• Vowel Centering: Each syllable typically contains one vowel sound.
• Compound Word Stress: Stress generally falls on the second element of a compound word.

11. Special Considerations:

The geminate consonants require careful transcription and pronunciation. Regional variations in Nynorsk pronunciation might affect the precise realization of vowel sounds, but the syllable division remains consistent.
