Learner notes
Memory Tip
additive 开头是 add（加），记住“添加上去的”就是 additive；食品添加剂 add 进食物里，也读作 /ˈædətɪv/。
Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：mathematics、chemistry、engineering additive 作形容词时通常用于正式或学术场合，多出现在数学、化学、工程等专业术语搭配中，表示“添加的、附加的、加成的”；在日常口语中较少使用，说 additional 或 added 可能更自然。
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词与 additive 拼写相近，都含有 -itive/-ative 后缀，但都不能与 additive /ˈædətɪv/ 完全押韵：additive 的重读部分为 /æd/，而 positive、negative、relative、sensitive、competitive 的重读元音分别为 /ɒ/、/ɛ/、/ɛ/、/ɛ/、/ɛ/，definitive 的重读在第二音节 /ˈfɪn/。它们共享的是不重读的 /ətɪv/ 或 /ɪtɪv/ 结尾，而不是完全相同的韵。注意 negative 和 relative 拼写是 -ative，读音也是 /ətɪv/。
Usage priority
