14. In Turkish , a consonant that is between two vowels makes up a syllable with the next vowel.

 

araba ---> ara ---> a - ra - ba

insanın ---> anı ---> in - sa - nın

Quoting Abla

How are words like kahrolmak, sabretmek, kaybetmek etc. divided into syllables?

 

* In Turkish if two consonants comes next to next  then the first one makes syllable with its previous vowel, the second one makes syllable with its next vowel.

kahrolmak --->  h  joins to ka  --> kah

                      r   joins to ol   --> rol 

kah - rol - mak

--------------------------------------------------------------

sabr etmek ---> b  joins to sa

                      r  joins to et

sab - ret - mek

---------------------------------------------------------------

in the same way ;

kaybetmek

kay- bet - mek

So, no exceptions even though they consist of two parts. Thanks, tunci (for the whole thread, I´ve been following it all day, interesting things pop up).

* If we have three consonants comes next to next  then the first two consonants join to  previous vowel, the last one joins to  next vowel.

 

altlık --> "lt"  join to "a" ,  "l "  joins to "ık"   -----> alt - lık

rkçe  ------>  Türk - çe

korkmak  -----> kork - mak

15. Even western origin words are adjusted into Turkish syllable rules.

 

bandrol -----> band-rol  [ 3 consonant rule]

kontrol -----> kont- rol [ 3 consonant rule]

  portre   -----> port-re  [ 3 consonant rule]

program -----> prog- ram [ 2 consonant rule]

santral   ------> sant- ral  [ 3 consonant rule]

  sürpriz -------> sürp - riz [ 3 consonant rule]

  volfram -----> volf-ram  [ 3 consonant rule]
