A vowel is short before another vowel or h. An example of this is in the word po – \u0113 – ma<\/strong>, which means poem in Latin.\u00a0 Another example of this is in the word ni – hil<\/strong>, which means nothing in Latin.<\/p>\n

A vowel is pronounced with a short sound before nt and nd. You can see this in the word a – mant<\/strong>.\u00a0 In Latin this = they love. It’s also true for words like mo – nen – dus<\/strong>. In Latin this word = to be advised.<\/p>\n

A vowel is also short before a word ending in a final l or r. The words a – ni – mal<\/strong> (animal) and a – mor<\/strong> (love) have this trait.<\/p>\n

A vowel is pronounced long before nf, ns, j and gn. Here are some examples: c\u014dn – fe -r\u014d<\/strong> (bring together), m\u0113n – sa<\/strong> (table), h\u016b – jus<\/strong> (of him), and m\u0101 – gnus<\/strong> (great).<\/p>\n

A syllable is long when it contains a long vowel or a dipthong: v\u014d – c\u0113s<\/strong> (voices), ae- d\u0113s<\/strong> (temple).<\/p>\n
