Best Answer

There are 2 syllables in the word building. This is because when you read the word out loud, or pronounce it, it comes out vocally as 2 syllables: "build" and "ing." A syllable is a unit of pronunciation which has one vowel sound, both with or without consonants surrounding it, which form part of (or all of) a word. Since the word "building" has 2 vowel sounds when it is pronounced, there are 2 syllables in the word.
