Well, all you have to do to count syllables is by breaking the word down, and counting how many sounds you make saying the word. Like the question, "grandmother" has 3 syllables. "Grand-moth-er!"

The word confidentiality has seven syllables. (Con-fi-den-ti-al-i-ty)

el' e phant - the stress is on the first syllable

The word balloon has two syllables. Bal-loon.

The word triumph has two syllables. The syllables are tri-umph.

The word present has two syllables: Pres-ent.

The word stopped has only one syllable. It is pronounced with a single stress point.

The word "corn" has one syllable. To determine how many syllables any word has, you can put your hand under your chin and say the word. The number of times that your chin goes down and hits your hand is the number of syllables it has.

Juice box is actually two separate words rather than one. However, each word has one syllable so, yes, it is two syllables.

The first syllable is stressed in faucet.

A short phrase, such as "in on me." (i.e., He came down the chimney and then walked in on me.) Or anything that ends with the verbal pronunciation of the letter E. (i.e., He came down the chimney, and the light was so dim, you see.)
No single word is a perfect rhyme. You have to go with partial rhymes like "dimly" unless you are willing to use a phrase, like we might imagine an Indian in a western movie saying "him knee hurt big". "Him knee" is the rhyme. Or "left limb, knee" in a medical report.

The Word slipped has one syllable, since sli and pped could not be complete words on their own! :)

Happy with your answer? : )

• 1. If you know how to pronounce the word, say it out loud. You will say the accented syllable a little louder than the other ones. Example: SYL-luh-bull

  2. If you do not know the word, look in the dictionary. It will show the accented syllable either the way I did above, by capitalizing that syllable, or by putting an accent mark (') after it. Example: syl' uh bull

  2 you would also look on other internet sites but only if you think ours isn't giving enough details about your question,but ours is far the best.

Do you mean "how many syllables are found in the word library?"? If so,there are three.
