Words are divided into syllables. Syllable- this is one sound or several sounds pronounced by one exhalation push of air.
Wed: wow, wow.
1. In the Russian language there are sounds of different audibility: vowel sounds are more sonorous compared to consonant sounds.
Exactly vowel sounds form syllables, are syllabic.
Consonants are non-syllabic. When pronouncing a word, the consonant sounds “stretch” towards the vowels, forming a syllable together with the vowels.
2. A syllable can consist of one sound (and then it must be a vowel!) or several sounds (in this case, in addition to the vowel, the syllable contains a consonant or a group of consonants).
The rim is o-bo-dok; country - country; night light - night light; miniature - mi-ni-a-tyu-ra.
3. Syllables can be open or closed.
Open syllable ends with a vowel sound.
Wow, country.
Closed syllable ends with a consonant sound.
Sleep, lay-ner.
There are more open syllables in Russian. Closed syllables are usually observed at the end of a word.
Wed: no-chnik(the first syllable is open, the second is closed), oh-bo-doc(the first two syllables are open, the third is closed).
In the middle of a word, the syllable usually ends in a vowel sound, and the consonant or group of consonants that comes after the vowel usually ends in the following syllable!
No-chnik, dammit, announcer.
Note!
Sometimes a word can have two consonants written but only one sound, for example: get rid of[izh:yt’]. Therefore, in this case, two syllables stand out: and-live.
Division into parts out-live corresponds to the rules of word hyphenation, and not division into syllables!
The same can be seen in the example of the verb leave, in which the combination of consonants zzh sounds like one sound [zh:]; therefore the division into syllables will be - leave, and division into parts for transfer is leave.
Errors are especially common when highlighting syllables in verb forms ending in -tsya, -tsya.
- Division twisting, pressing is a division into parts for transfer, and not a division into syllables, since in such forms the combination of letters ts, ts sounds like one sound [ts].
- When dividing into syllables, combinations of letters tc, tc go entirely to the next syllable: hover, press.
In the middle of a word, closed syllables can only form unpaired voiced consonants: [j], [р], [р'], [л], [л'], [м], [м'], [н], [н' ].
May-ka, Sonya-ka, so-lom-ka.
Note!
When combining several consonants in the middle of a word:
1) Two identical consonants necessarily go to the next syllable.
O-t-t, yes-nn-y.
2) Two or more consonants usually extend to the next syllable.
Sha-pk a, equal.
Exception make up combinations of consonants in which the first is an unpaired voiced voice (letters r, r, l, l, m, m, n, n, th).
Mark-ka, dawn-ka, bul-ka, insole-ka, dam-ka, ban-ka, ban-ka, bark-ka.
4. The division into syllables often does not coincide with the division into parts of the word (prefix, root, suffix, ending) and with the division of the word into parts during transfer.
For example, the word calculated is divided into morphemes calculated (races- console, counts- root; a, nn- suffixes; th- ending).
When transferred, the same word is divided as follows: calculated.
The word is divided into syllables as follows: calculated.
| Word hyphenation rules | Examples |
|---|---|
| 1. As a rule, words are transferred into syllables. The letters ъ, ь, й are not separated from the previous letters. | Ride on, go on, go on, go on. |
| 2. You cannot move or leave one letter on a line, even if it represents a syllable. | Oh bo-dok; words autumn, name cannot be divided for transfer. |
| 3. When transferring, you cannot tear off the final consonant letter from the prefix. | From -to leak, from -to pour. |
| 4. When transferring, the first consonant cannot be removed from the root. | To murmur, to murmur. |
| 5. When hyphenating words with double consonants, one letter remains on the line and the other is moved. | Ran-n-i, ter-r-or, van-n a. |
| 6. The letter ы after the prefix cannot be torn off from the root, but the part of the word starting with the letter ы should not be transferred. | Times - say. |
To quickly divide words into syllables online, use the form below. You can enter multiple words into the text field separated by spaces or commas. When you click the "Split into syllables" button, the result will be shown instantly in the text field. The form is intended to highlight syllables only in Russian words typed in Russian letters.
The form is convenient for cases in which it is necessary to break many words into syllables without details and background information. If you need to find out how many and what syllables are in words, what hyphenation options are available, then use the search form or select words by the number of syllables in them:
Note.
1. Do not use the result of dividing words into syllables to determine where words are hyphenated. Dividing into syllables and highlighting places where words are hyphenated are not always the same thing. The difference is explained in detail on our website (points 4-5 from the rules of division into syllables).
2. Division into syllables is carried out taking into account the rules of the school curriculum. Some rules may differ from the rules of the institute program and schools with in-depth study of the Russian language. For this reason, in some cases, syllables may not be highlighted in accordance with your knowledge of the rules for dividing words into syllables.
Syllable
A syllable is one vowel sound or a combination of one vowel with one or more consonants. In other words: vowel sounds form syllables, consonant sounds only when combined with a vowel form a syllable. A small cheat sheet can help you remember: vowels “agree”, consonants “agree”. For example: in the word dog there are three syllables so-ba-ka (vowels: o, a, a, consonants: s, b, k), in the word Asia - three syllables A-zi-ya (vowels: a, i, i, consonant: h).
Syllables consisting of two or more sounds can be open or closed. Open syllables end in a vowel sound: vo-da, tra-va, ro-di-na. Closed syllables end in a consonant: kom-bain, kor-ka, zhel-tet.
There are closed syllables that begin with a consonant, and open syllables that begin with a vowel. Examples: ko-ra (both syllables covered), ya-blo-ko (one uncovered, two covered).
How many syllables are in a word?
Words are made up of syllables. Based on the definition of a syllable, the number of syllables in a word is determined by the number of vowel sounds. School teachers of the Russian language often say: “How many vowels - so many syllables.”
Example: sn e g - one syllable, h And T A t - two syllables, p A b O T A- three syllables, dl And n O w eee- five syllables.
More examples of syllables:
- water - syllables in And Yes;
- read - syllables chi, that, la;
- I am a syllable I;
- spring - syllables ve, Schnee, e;
- chair - syllable chair, a word has one syllable, consisting of one vowel and three consonants.
A syllable is the minimum part of a word when pronounced, if you do not take into account degenerate cases when you need to spell the word. Hence the well-known expressions: read syllable by syllable, pronounce syllable by syllable. A syllable, like sound and stress, belongs to the section of phonetics.
In the Russian language there are words without syllables, that is, consisting only of consonants. A striking example of such words are onomatopoeic words. For example: hmm, t-s-s-s, tr-tr-tr.

How to break a word into syllables
1. In the Russian language there are sounds of different audibility: vowel sounds are more sonorous compared to consonant sounds. It is vowel sounds that form syllables and are syllabic. A syllable is one sound or several sounds pronounced with one exhalation push of air: vo-da, na-u-ka.
There are as many syllables in a word as there are vowel sounds.
Consonant sounds are non-syllabic. When pronouncing a word, the consonant sounds “stretch” towards the vowels, forming a syllable together with the vowels.
2. A syllable can consist of one sound (and then it must be a vowel) or several sounds (in this case, in addition to the vowel, the syllable contains a consonant or a group of consonants): rim - o-bo-dok; country - country; night light - night light; miniature - mi-ni-a-tyu-ra. If a syllable consists of two or more sounds, then it must begin with a consonant.
3. Syllables can be open or closed.
An open syllable ends with a vowel sound: vo-da, country.
A closed syllable ends with a consonant sound: sleep, lay-ner.
There are more open syllables in Russian. Closed syllables are usually observed at the end of a word: no-chnik (the first syllable is open, the second is closed), o-bo-dok (the first two syllables are open, the third is closed).
In the middle of a word, a syllable, as a rule, ends with a vowel sound, and a consonant or group of consonants coming after a vowel usually goes to the subsequent syllable: no-chnik, di-ktor.
In the middle of a word, closed syllables can only form unpaired voiced consonants [th], [r], [r'], [l], [l'], [m], [m'], [n], [n'] (sonorant): may-ka, Sony-ka, so-lom-ka.
4. Sometimes two consonants can be written in a word, but sound one, for example: get rid of [izh:yt’]. Therefore, in this case, two syllables stand out: and-live. The division into parts corresponds to the rules of word transfer, and not division into syllables.
The same can be seen in the example of the verb to leave, in which the combination of consonants zzh sounds like one sound [zh:]; therefore the division into syllables will be - leave, and dividing a word to hyphenate is leave.
Errors are especially common when highlighting syllables in verb forms ending in -tsya, -tsya.
The division vit-sya, zhjet-sya is a division into parts for transfer, and not a division into syllables, since in such forms the combination of letters ts, ts sounds like one sound [ts].
When dividing into syllables, combinations of letters ts, ts go entirely to the next syllable: vi-tsya, zhmy-tsya.
5. When combining several consonants in the middle of a word: two identical consonants necessarily go to the next syllable: o-flow, yes-ny; two or more consonants usually go to the next syllable: sha-pka, equal. The exception is combinations of consonants in which the first is an unpaired voiced (sonorant): letters r, rj, l, l, m, m, n, n, y: mark-ka, dawn-ka, bul-ka, stel-ka, dam-ka, ban-ka, ban-ka, bark-ka.
