The word "laughing" has two syllables: laugh-ing.
There are three sounds in the word "laugh" (/l/ /a/ /f/).
The pronunciation of "laugh" as "laff" is due to a phenomenon known as the Great Vowel Shift, which occurred in English during the Middle Ages. This shift caused changes in the pronunciation of many words, leading to variations in how certain vowels were pronounced. Over time, these changes became standardized, resulting in the pronunciation we use today.
Depends on how you use the word. For example, you can use it if you are writing a hyphenated modifier: "She had that I'm-going-to-try-not- to-laugh-right-now face." But you can't hypenate the word when: "She had a terrible-laugh." ---> "She had a terrible laugh."
