Spanish Classes / / July 04, 2021
As its name says, the trisyllable words are all those that have three syllables. They are therefore very easy words to identify, in addition to being very popular in terms of their use and meaning. In this way, it is not difficult to meet them in common parlance.
Let's explain a bit how to find the trisyllable words, it is very simple:
Word | Hyphenation |
comparison | co (1) - tea (2) - ho (3) |
sharp | neither (1) - you (2) - do (3) |
clam | to the (1) - I (2) - ha (3) |
sit down | temple (1) - have (2) - I know (3) |
accomplice | com (1) - pli (2) - ce (3) |
Canada | AC (1) - na (2) - gives (3) |
Let us remember that syllables are groupings or units of phonemes or sounds from which the words are articulated. The concept of syllable It is related to the pronunciation of a word: a syllable is pronounced with a single emission, like a spoken chain, and between each syllable a small pause or depression of the sound is established.
To know how a word is separated by syllables two factors must be taken into account:
- Your pronunciation. Syllables are pronounced as units of sounds: typical (tí - pi - co), cat (ga - tu - no), wife (es - po - sa), padlock (can - da - do).
- The hiatus and diphthong formation within the word. Diphthongs (union of vowels in the same syllable) and hiatuses (separation of vowels in different syllables) affect the distribution of syllables in a word. For example: Shipping (Shipping: is separated by the hiatus io), laughed (re - í - a: is separated by the hiatus ía), influx (a - fuel - cia diphthongs join EU and ia).
