Is there difference between the syllables -ant and -syn?

Yes, there's a difference between the syllables "-ant" and "-syn."

* "-ant" is a common suffix in English, indicating "one who does something" or "pertaining to something."

* Examples:

* Assistant: A person who assists another.

* Servant: A person who serves another.

* Important: Having significance.

* Pleasant: Giving pleasure.

* "-syn" is less common and is often part of a larger suffix, such as "-sync" or "-synthesis." These suffixes relate to "together" or "combination."

* Examples:

* Synchronization: The act of making things happen at the same time.

* Synthesis: The combination of parts to form a whole.

* Biosynthesis: The production of organic molecules by living organisms.

Therefore, "-ant" and "-syn" have distinct meanings and are used in different contexts.
