Vowel-Consonant-Vowel (VCV)

Syllables are typically divided between vowels, creating open syllables whenever possible.

Consonant Clusters

Consonant clusters are broken up based on sonority, but certain clusters (like 'st') remain intact if followed by a vowel.

Penultimate Stress

Romanian generally stresses the penultimate syllable, influencing syllable division to accommodate the stress.

  • The suffix '-ele' is a definite article and is always pronounced as a separate syllable.
  • The 'g' in 'agonist' is a soft 'g' sound /ɡ/, which doesn't affect syllabification.
