Pronunciation & Spelling
Only the final unstressed syllable is compared. In chinaman /ˈtʃaɪnəmən/, the ending -man sounds like /mən/. The same /mən/ appears in fireman, postman, policeman, gentleman, and businessman, so their suffixes genuinely match. Snowman is a spelling lookalike: its -man is pronounced /mæn/, not /mən/. None of these words rhymes with chinaman, because the stressed vowel and the sounds after it differ.
