Best Answer

"Syllable count" is the number of syllables that are in any word. (i.e. how many syllables you can count)

For example, the word "answer" has two syllables. We know this because when you break up the word, there are two "parts" that we count. The first part is "An" whilst the second part is "swer". An-swer.

A good way to count how many syllables a word has is by clapping when you say a word. The number of claps you make is the number of syllables a word has.
