There are 5 syllables in the word.

When you are reading, it is important to know how many syllables are in each word. This can be helpful when trying to spell words and remember the pronunciation of words.

There are two ways to count diphthong syllables: by counting the individual vowels of a diphthong or counting the number of syllables in a diphthong. How to Count Diphthong Syllables by Vowels To count diphthong syllables by vowels, divide the total number of vowels in the word by two. This will give you the number of syllables in each diphthong. For instance, in the word "out," there are two diphthongs, "ou" and "ut." The total number of vowels in these words is four. Therefore, the diphthongs have two syllables each.

You count the total number of vowels in a word, including silent and double vowels.

1. Count the number of vowels in a word. 2. Add up the numbers for each vowel. 3. If there is a double vowel (ie, "car" has two a's), count them as one syllable. 4. If a word has a consonant combination that doesn't fit into one of the above categories, count it as one syllable. 5. If there are extra letters at the end of a word that don't form part of any other letter or sound, those letters are counted as one syllable too.
