发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Genuine sound matches: dedicate, educate, indicate, cultivate, and communicate all end in the unstressed /keɪt/ and share the spelling -cate. None of them rhymes with abdicate because the stressed vowel differs: abdicate has /æ/ in the first syllable (AB-di-kate), while the others have /ɛ/, /ɪ/, /ʌ/, or /ə/ in their stressed syllables. Warning: appreciate ends /ʃieɪt/, not /keɪt/; the final spelling -ate is pronounced /eɪt/, but the consonant before it changes. Also watch out for advocate: as a verb it is /ˈædvəkeɪt/ (final /keɪt/), but as a noun it is /ˈædvəkət/.
