Hi,
My questions might sound dumb but how many syllables in the word �country �?
I think there are two syllables, is that correct?
Thank you |

Only one.The syllable is any number of vowels between two consonants.

No, the vowels don �t have to be between consonants to make a syllable. Otherwise "aloha", which has three syllables, would have only one, and "apple" would have no syllables. As manonski said, it is 2. Bruce |

It is the number of vowel sounds that determine syllables
