"How do I divide entierro into syllables?"

Question

"How do I divide entierro into sullables?"

Answer 1

en-tie-rro

In english, dipthongs (combinations of 2 vowels) are often pronounced separately. In spanish, they are usually pronounced as one syllable.

patio

pa tee yo (english)

pat io (spanish)

:D

You might add that to ensure that those 'io' and other vowel combinations which are not pronounced as one syllable carry an accent on the accented vowel. Hope I expressed that correctly. - Janice, Feb 27, 2010
