Question

How many syllables r in "smile"?

Answer 1

Two S'mile

Answer 2

First of all, a syllable(GREEK:συλλαβή) is a unit of organization for a sequence of speech sounds. For example, the word water is composed of two syllables: wa and ter. A syllable is typically made up of a syllable nucleus (most often a vowel) with optional initial and final margins (typically, consonants). In other words. the word "SMILE" has only ONE (1) syllable.. Hope it helps...

Answer 3

one

Answer 4

smile - smi yull. 2.

Answer 5

smile is one syllable! smiling would be two syllables.

Answer 6

Answer 7

I can't believe some of the previous answers - there's only one syllable in smile (and smiles and strengths)

There are some ten and eleven letter words than are only one syllable, but they're somewhat vague.
