Why not just say most words need vowels, but not rhythm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found out Matt calls the GM "Gutey" I'm sure everyone but me knew that, but that's funny to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just say most words need vowels, but not rhythm We can accept that case but it still seems like Y is performing the role of a vowel in eg. “ally” or “very”, where it produces sounds that are in other cases made by unambiguous vowels Edited August 13, 2019 by Cakeshoppe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just one of those things that is always gonna have exceptions.

English is super weird when it comes to syllables imo. I just searched syllables for rythm because I wasn't sure if it's one or two and I found this: How many syllables in rhythm? 1 syllable Divide rhythm into syllables: rhythm How to pronounce rhythm: rith-um Dafuq?

skibrett15 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 which is incredibly dumb. What's the word for the separations in how you say a word if not syllable? To me, saying rhythm has 2 syllables is perfectly cromulent. It has 2 sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
