How many syllables are there in the word fire?

Answer 1

2 It can be argued that 2 is correct; it can also be argued that there is one syllable in fire. There are many words like this that can be pronounced with an unstressed syllable at the end, like fire (F'EYE-er), or door (DOE-er), etc. It's not incorrect to pronounce them this way. I think most standard sources would conclude that one syllable is the answer.
