How many syllables are in mobile?

Answer 1

There are three different uses of the word in English, and three possible pronunciations. MOBILE (noun) : a turning group of objects suspended by strings (moh-BEEL) MOBILE (adjective meaning portable, used for portable radio devices) : MOH-byle or MOH-bull. MOBILE : (able to move, used medically as MOBILITY) usually "MOH-bull" The same dichotomy exists with British or regional pronunciations of AUTOMOBILE, but the standard is generally "AW-toh-moh-BEEL"

Answer

In British/Australian English "able to move" is pronounced moh-byle, as are "cell" phones moh-byle fohns, or just "moh-byles". The only use for the "moh-BEEL" pronunciation is occasionally for the suspended thingies, and even then we call them "wind chimes" or other names.

Answer 2

There are 2 syllables in mobile and 1 syllable in phone.
