How Do You Spell SYLLABIFIES?

Pronunciation: [sɪlˈabɪfˌa͡ɪz] (IPA)

The word "syllabifies", which means to divide a word into syllables, can be spelled using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) as /sɪˈlæbɪfaɪz/. This consists of six phonetic symbols: the "s" sound represented by /s/, followed by the short "i" sound /ɪ/, then the "L" sound represented by /l/, followed by the "æ" sound /æ/, then the "b" sound represented by /b/, and finally the "f" sound represented by /f/ and the "iz" sound represented by /z/.

SYLLABIFIES Meaning and Definition

1. Syllabifies is a verb that refers to the action or process of dividing a word or utterance into syllables. When we syllabify a word, we break it down into its constituent syllables, which are the basic units of pronunciation containing a vowel sound. This process helps in understanding and pronouncing words correctly, aiding in phonetic analysis, linguistic study, or the teaching of pronunciation.

   To syllabify a word, we examine its phonetic structure and identify the presence of vowels, consonants, and any additional phonetic elements such as diphthongs or consonant clusters. We then group these sounds together to form syllables, with each syllable typically containing only one vowel sound.

   For example, the word "cat" can be syllabified as /kat/, with a single syllable containing the vowel sound /a/. On the other hand, the word "ele-phant" has two syllables, with the first syllable containing the vowel sound /e/ and the second syllable containing the vowel sound /a/ followed by a consonant cluster /nt/.

   Syllabification is an essential skill for language learners, especially for those who are not native speakers, as it helps them understand the correct pronunciation patterns and rhythm of a language. It also plays a vital role in poetry, where the arrangement of syllables can affect the meter and rhythm of lines.

Etymology of SYLLABIFIES

The word "syllabifies" is derived from the base word "syllabify".

"Syllabify" originates from the combination of two separate components:

- "syllable" - which refers to a single unit of speech that contains a vowel sound;

- "-fy" - a suffix that converts a noun or adjective into a verb, meaning "to make" or "to cause".

When the suffix "-fy" is added to "syllable", the resulting word "syllabify" is created, indicating the action of forming or dividing words into syllables.

Therefore, "syllabifies" is the present tense third-person singular form of the verb "syllabify", meaning that it represents the act of syllabifying something or dividing it into syllables.
