Word Parts
Vowel-Based Syllabification
Syllables are formed around vowels, with consonants assigned to the adjacent syllable based on phonotactic constraints.
Syllabic Consonants
A single consonant between two vowels forms its own syllable.
Consonant Cluster Maintenance
Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable unless a vowel intervenes.
- The 'rr' sound requires careful transcription as a strong alveolar trill.
- Pronoun enclisis (attachment of pronouns to the verb) is a common feature of Portuguese and doesn't alter the basic syllabification rules.
