Syllable

A syllable is a unit of spoken language consisting of a single uninterrupted sound formed by a vowel, diphthong, or syllabic consonant alone, or any of these sounds preceded, followed, or surrounded by one or more consonants. It is the basic building block of words and plays a crucial role in pronunciation and phonetics.

Sample sentences:

1. The word "apple" has two syllables: ap-ple.
2. Clapping involves the repetition of the syllable "clap."
3. When pronouncing the word "happiness," the stress falls on the second syllable: hap-pi-ness.
