How many syllables in Executive?
The word executive has four syllables. The syllables of the word are ex-ec-u-tive.
How do you divided a word as syllables?
The number of breathes (or stops) it takes to say a word, or the number of vowel sounds in a word are both good indications of how many syllables are in a word.
For example:
The word "divided" di-vi-ded is three syllables. (3 vowels, 3 vowel sounds, 3 syllables.) but the word "divide" di-vide is two syllables (3 vowels, 2 vowel sounds, 2 syllables.)
It is important to remember that just because a word has a certain number of vowels does not mean that it also has the same number of syllables.
The name "Juan" has two vowels, but they create one sound, so the name is one syllable long.
