You may know that I write a daily, except Shabbat, #morningcoffeehaiku and since a haiku is a poetic form based on syllables,
5, 7, 5, I needed some advice.
Would you consider "tired" one syllable or two? Need to know asap, thanks.
The answers, OK, debate are continuing. Here are a few:
- 2
- One.
- In the south it's at least 3.
- Definitely region dependent
- Yeah I was born in Brooklyn. There the question, "Did you eat yet?" has only one syllable: "Jeet?"
- That depends on just how tired I am!
- one for me. Depends on where you live :-)
- Two. But my South African husband says it in one. Tahd.
- See a dictionary entry. 2 syllables.
- 1 your jaw drops only once.
- why not 2? there are 2 separate vowel sounds-check in a good old-fashioned dictionary /it shows the separation
- it's not ty-red. It's ti -erd can't you trust a teacher with 40 years experience.
What do you think?
you quoted me twice ! YESH !!!

ReplyDeleteShalom!
ReplyDeleteI searched the phonetic spelling and discovered that there is such a thing as a triphthong.(At least according to some phoneticians.)
I always thought that it was three letters like "thr.." "str.." etc
