How many syllables is every?

Answer 1

3

I disagree with "3". Here's what M. W. on-line dictionary states: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/every Main Entry : ev·ery ; Pronunciation : \ˈev-rē\ ; Function : adjective ; Etymology : Middle English everich, every, from Old English ǣfre ǣlc, from ǣfre ever + ǣlc each ; Date : before 12th century ; *************************** I also have a Funk & Wagnalls New College Standard Dictionary that states the same thing: TWO syllables!

Answer 2

3 or 4, depending on how you pronounce it. EV ry thing = 3. EV er y thing = 4.

Answer 3

There are two syllables in "every" - eve-ry

Answer 4

3 or 4. Ill break it down so you can understand how to do it:

Ev-er-y-thing = 4

Ev-ry-thing = 3

Some websites say it's 3 though... depends on pronunciation I suppose :P

Answer 5

There are two syllables. Eve-ry.
