Open Syllable Preference

Romanian favors syllables ending in vowels. Syllable division aims to create open syllables whenever possible.

Consonant Cluster Resolution

Consonant clusters are broken up to create open syllables, except for common clusters like 'st' which are treated as a single unit.

Vowel Hiatus Resolution

When two vowels come together, they usually form separate syllables.

  • The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morphemic boundaries.
  • The 'st' cluster is an exception to the rule of breaking up consonant clusters.
