TO Write a python function that counts the number of syllables in a string. Here is a basic implementation of a function to count syllables in a string: python def countsyllables(word): vowels "aeiouyAEIOUY" count 0 for index, letter in enumerate(word): if letter in vowels: if index 0 or wordindex – 1 not in vowels: count 1 if count 0: count 1 return count Copy code This function counts the number of vowels in a word and assumes that every word has at least one syllable. It does a simple check for vowels in the input word and increases the count for each vowel found. It also checks if the previous letter is not a vowel to avoid counting consecutive vowels as separate syllables. TO How many syllables does the work Columbia have? The word "Columbia" has three syllables. ProdrammerHumor.io
