Vowel-Based Syllabification

Syllables are formed around vowel sounds. Each vowel typically initiates a new syllable.

Consonant Cluster Handling

Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable unless they are exceptionally complex or disrupt the vowel-based pattern.

Suffix Separation

Suffixes, such as the definite article '-ul', are generally separated into their own syllables.

  • Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is common but doesn't affect syllabification.
  • The 'dr' consonant cluster is permissible within a syllable in Romanian.
  • The final 'ul' suffix is a standard definite article and forms a distinct syllable.
