Syllabication is not as easy

as spelling. That's just why

americans don't bother
learning. Not even my
cute font would talk them
into this.

Syllabus, or syllabi?

Remember: ONLY one vowel sound.

Let's get check another example:

Two vowels – I and E.

One vowel sound –

represented by iː

2 vowel sounds =
2 syllabi

One vowel, one vowel

sound.
Remember the vowel sounds?:

So, if we have two vowels but they

don't represent a vowel sound, divide
the sillabus between the vowels:

These two vowels

don't form a single
vowel sound.
Almost ending...:

If the word has a prefix or a suffix, is

preferrable to divide between the
prefix/suffix and the root word:

Prefix separated.
Last one...:

About compound words: Divide

between the words that form it.

These are the “parts” that form

the word “homework”, a closed
compound word.
