How many syllables in James?

[NickNacks]

Sorry if this is blindingly obvious or I am in the wrong place for this Q but doing DS's homework and he needs to know this.

I'm not sure because I'm thick because I can make it one or two.

Many thanks!

One

One.

one

WOW you're good and fast! Thank you!

One clap so one syllable according to ds2

one.
"jaymz"

you could try 2 - "jam-es" but that's only a silly!

(we had a friend called Jamesand we pronounced it Jam-es)

or at a push "jay-ems"
but noone would exaggerate it like that.

The clap as you say it thing is a good one to remember actually.

If I say it slowly, I end up with Jame-sah, but you're right that's silly!

Really Euphemia? That actually sounds like something I would be interesting in reading . My grammar nerdishness seems to have grown as I've aged...

A syllable is the sound of a vowel (A, E, I, O, U) that is created when pronouncing the letters A, E, I, O, U, or Y.

That makes James one syllable.

Holy thread resurrection!

Anyway, I'm surprised no one recognised a diphthong.

Made me think of this.
