The first syllable is the first sound/s or group of letters in a word that are broken into a sound or group of sounds when we speak the word. An easy example is a prefix. Examples:

  1. prefix -- Said pre...fix
  2. unkind - Said un...kind
  3. disease - Said dis...ease

Some words don't use prefixes but still has a first syllable, as examples:

  1. happiness - Said happ...pi...ness
  2. television - Said tel...e...vis..ion


And some words only have one syllable!

  1. dry
  2. nice
  3. edge
