How many syllables are in synagogue?

Answer 1

There are 3 syllables in the word 'synagogue'. (sy-na-gogue)

To work out how many syllables are in a word, say the word slowly and try to break it up with consonants and then a vowel at the end of each syllable, until you can break it up and say it like that comfortably.

Example: sy-na-gogue

See how there are letters and then a vowel at the end of the syllable? ('y' is sometimes used as a vowel)

This rule will work on most words, although there are some exception.
