Syllable Dictionary; a reference guide for how to count & find syllables, learning how to pronounce words, and finding synonyms & rhymes.
A syllable is a unit of sound. It is a single segment of uninterrupted sound produced with a single pulse of air from the lungs. There are seven types of syllable. The number of syllables in a word depends on its sound not its spelling.
Syllables are the sonic units of a word, sometimes called the “beats” of a word. Humans naturally break down words sonically while we speak. Each time we say a new syllable, our mouths change shape to produce a distinct sound.
Syllables are formed when a vowel pairs with a consonant to create a unit of sound. Some words have one syllable (monosyllabic), and some words have many syllables (polysyllabic).
Syllables give language a natural cadence according to different words’ stressed and unstressed syllables. American English words typically have one syllable that is stressed over others, as we see in our example above (amplify).
