           ## Mora

          +A mora is the shortest unit of length in Japanese phonology. Every open syllable is a mora, long syllables are two moras, ん and っ are it's own moras too. A rule of thumb is that, when written in kana, each character represents a separate mora (with an exception of small ゃゅょ)

          +せんせい - 4 moras: せ　ん　せ　い

          +です - 2 moras: で　す

          +やさしい - 4 moras: や　さ　し　い

          +がっしょう - 4 moras: が　っ　しょ　う

A phrase usually consist of a core meaning word (usu. noun/verb/adjective) and it's prefixes, suffixes, particles, and conjugation endings.
