The division of words into syllables is necessary in order to learn how to read, write correctly, correctly transfer and perform morphemic analysis. This knowledge is necessary for those who take the first steps in learning the Russian language. The topic of the article is monosyllabic and two-syllable words, which young readers will encounter first of all.
Basics of syllabic structure
How to determine how many syllables are in a word? Their number is equal to the number of vowel sounds, which differ in that they can stretch out: a-a-a, u-u-u, i-i-i. They are considered syllabic:
- Raki - two vowels, two syllables (ra-ki).
- Kit - one vowel, one syllable (kit).
- Neck - two vowels, two syllables (neck-ya).
What becomes apparent from this example? A vowel sound can form a syllable on its own (she-ya) or group one or even several consonants around itself:
- clay;
- leaf;
- plo-vec.
Words with only one vowel are called monosyllabic:
- scrap;
- poppy;
- table;
- smoke;
- crunch.
Examples are also shown in the picture below.
And if there are two sounds? These are two-syllable words, which this article is devoted to.
How to divide into syllables
To do it right, you need to understand what types they are divided into. There are two of them. Syllables are:
- open;
- closed.
Consider an example: Ko-za. Both syllables are made up of a consonant and a vowel, with the latter at the end. These syllables, as well as those in which there are no consonants at all, are called open.
Closed cases include the following:
- Consonants are at the end of words - cat, brain, stump.
- Soft pairs [l'], [n'], [m'], [r'] are either in the middle or at the end of the word - Mel-nick, horse-yak, seven-I, Dar- i.
frame-ki, chicken-sor.
We see that in disyllabic words the listed consonants adjoin the first syllable.
Consider the following examples: co-ster, mi-ska, mail, friend-zhba. In what cases does the combination of consonants go to the second syllable? If in the middle of a word there are two deaf, deaf and voiced, or two voiced. Except sonorants.
Transfer rules
It is necessary to understand that the transfer is not always carried out in accordance with the phoneticsyllabary. When does it absolutely not match?
- If the syllable consists of one vowel. You can not leave one letter on the line or transfer one letter. Example: oh-oh. This is a two-syllable word, but it cannot be transferred.
- If there are double consonants in the middle. Example: va-nna. We wrote down the word in accordance with the phonetic syllable section. It consists of two open syllables. But when transferring, double consonants must be separated: van-na.
- If there is an accumulation of consonants in the middle of a word, then we can transfer in two versions: by phonetic syllable division and by separating consonants. Example: heart, heart; friend-zhba, friendship-ba; scree-pka, squeak-ka.
In other cases, the phonetic syllable section and word hyphenation are identical: ko-ra, gu-sar, pro-ba, city, bre-lok.
Disyllabic Examples
We offer to complete the task proposed in the picture just above. Do it yourself, then check with our options.
Disyllabic words: se-no, lu-na, Le-na, le-to, pi-horn, Se-na.
Let's give examples of different options, presenting them in the form of a table:
| Two open syllables | Two closed syllables | Confluence of consonants in the middle | Two sets of consonants |
|
de ti i-va hundredth bro-nya |
tulle-pan compot Doctor ban-dit |
boo-qua va-nna ban-ka mar-ka |
lash button friend-zhba brother-wa |
Among two-syllable words, there are examples when two vowels have several consonants. Examples: penguin, brotherhood, childhood, portrait, easel. What would a phonetic syllable section look like according to the rules?
Pin-guin, fraternity, childhood, por-tret, easel-bert.
How to transfer these words?
Penguin - pin-guin, ping-win. Brotherhood - brotherhood. Childhood is childhood. Portrait - port-ret. Easel - easel-bert.
We hope that the topic did not cause difficulties, and you can easily cope with any task.
