Open Syllable Rule
Portuguese favors open syllables (ending in a vowel). Syllables are divided to maximize open syllables.
Consonant Cluster Rule
Consonant clusters are broken after the first consonant if it's a sonorant (r, l, m, n).
Diphthong Formation Rule
Vowel combinations that form diphthongs are treated as a single syllable.
- The combination of multiple suffixes doesn't alter the core syllabification process. The reflexive pronoun 'me' is treated as a regular syllable.
