6 syllables.

@pandascepter
The one directly above this post.

Your nun haikus are pretty entertaining tho.

 

[pandascepter]

"Calm yourself sister,
quantity or quality ?"
"quantity of course !"

"Oi, lets play some ball !"
"She's busy making a doll.
Let's not bother her."

@bigtiddyoneesan
which one ?
it's five lol, "isn't" is one syllable.

 

[bigtiddyoneesan]

@pandascepter

"isn't" is one syllable.

Holy shit, I just checked and you're right. I can't believe I never knew this. Looks like I've been out-Englished.

 

[Richman]

Let's don't bother her."

Is that sentence written correctly? It looks weird to me.

@bigtiddyoneesan
I figured it out because " 's " doesn't contain a vocal (and i checked using a haiku counter lol).

 

[bigtiddyoneesan]

@Richman
Well, I guess it's the same with all of these contractions of two one-syllable words into one word. As an example, you can look at 'couldn't': https://www.howmanysyllables.com/words/couldn't

It's just kind of strange to me bc of this:

How to pronounce couldn't: kood-nt

It's split into two separate parts you have to pronounce. But I guess it's one syllable.

If English-sensei @justforthelulz could explain this one-syllable quirkiness to us, I'd appreciate it.

Let's don't bother her.

Yeah, that's 100% incorrect. If you got rid of the contraction it would read "Let's do not bother her", and if you got rid of both contractions, it would read "Let us do not bother her".

Just changing "don't" to "not" would make it fine. "Let's not bother her".

But what if I told you that the syllable might not exist?
(...) it is "curiously difficult" for experts to come up with "an objective phonetic procedure for locating the number of syllables in a word or a phrase in any language."
The variation in syllable-counting between people isn't always randomly dispersed: people pay attention to different things when they analyse words.

Alright, I guess I'm satisfied with this. Still tho, syllables are confuddling sometimes.

inb4 @panda
no that's not me nor my friends
that's a fried chicken

 

[EOTFOFYL]

What the fuck happened?
A syllable debate now,
linguistic battle.

 

[hazzack]

english confusion
syllables might not exist
inconsistent sound

 

[pandascepter]

Let's make her laugh.

"Hey sister, look look"
"Yeah..... uhh, what are you doing."
"Making a weird face."

 

[pandascepter]

She cannot pull out her hand!

"Oh, it's hammer time!"
"Oi, stop it, you're not helping."
Ahh, a normal day....

Also
here some wild @hazzack appearance.

 

[bigtiddyoneesan]

What a clumsy nun.
How is she supposed to pray
with only one hand?

 

[pandascepter]

Hymn practice

Don't worry about that.
As long as there is a way,
she is still can pray.

some bonus.....

Spoiler

Even though she does realize that her hand will get stuck, you still can't beat curiosity.
