10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

While the standard pronunciation is as transcribed, some regional variations in vowel reduction might occur, but these wouldn't alter the syllabification.

11. Phonological Comparison:

• счастье (schast'ye) - happiness: с-ча́-стье. Similar open syllable structure.
