According to number of syllables, words fall into monosyllables, disyllables, trisyllables and polysyllables. So you can remember, the syllable is a phoneme or group of phonemes pronounced through only a sound emission. It is important to highlight that the basis of syllables in Portuguese are the vowels.

Let's see how words are classified according to the number of syllables they have:

→ MONOSYLLABAS

monosyllables are the words formed by a single syllable. See some examples:

  • flower

  • sea

  • there is

  • who

  • how

  • only

  • already

  • nor

  • what

→ DISYLLABLES

Dissyllables are the words formed by two syllables. See some examples:

  • there: there

  • duty: duty

  • solder: solder

  • flavor: flavor

  • love love

  • You you

  • colors: colors

  • hint: hint

→ TRISYLLABAS

Trisyllables are the words formed by three syllables. See some examples:

  • layer: bed

  • attract: a-tra-ir

  • January: January

  • beauty: be-le-za

  • planet: planet

  • pepper: pi-men-ta

  • butcher shop: butcher shop

  • salad: sa-la-da

→ POLYSYLLABLES

polysyllables are the words formed by more than three syllables. See some examples:
