The word "tertiærformasjon" is a compound noun in Nynorsk, derived from Latin and Greek roots. Pronunciation follows Nynorsk standards, with a tendency towards a more conservative pronunciation of loanwords compared to Bokmål. The 'æ' is pronounced as /æ/, and 'j' is pronounced as /j/.
2. Syllable Division:

3. Morphemic Analysis:
- Prefix: tertiær- (Latin tertiarius - 'third'). Function: Ordinal number indicating a stage or order.
- Root: form- (Latin forma - 'shape, form'). Function: Core meaning relating to structure or appearance.
- Suffix: -asjon (French -ation, ultimately from Latin -atio). Function: Nominalizing suffix, creating a noun from a verb or adjective.
4. Stress Identification:
The primary stress falls on the second syllable: ti-ær-for-ma-sjon. Nynorsk generally stresses the first syllable of the root, but in compounds, the stress can shift to the syllable immediately preceding the compound boundary.
5. Phonetic Transcription:
/tɛrˈtɪæɾfɔɾmaːsjøn/
6. Edge Case Review:
The 'sj' cluster is a common feature in Nynorsk and is treated as a single phoneme /ʃ/. The 'r' is often a rhotic consonant, but its realization can vary regionally. The long vowel /aː/ in formasjon is typical for Nynorsk.
7. Grammatical Role:
"Tertiærformasjon" functions primarily as a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its grammatical role within a sentence.
8. Definition & Semantics:

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.
