The number of breathes (or stops) it takes to say a word, or the number of vowel sounds in a word are both good indications of how many syllables are in a word.
For example:
The word "divided" di-vi-ded is three syllables. (3 vowels, 3 vowel sounds, 3 syllables.) but the word "divide" di-vide is two syllables (3 vowels, 2 vowel sounds, 2 syllables.)
