黑暗（darkness）就是伸手不见五指。
physical or metaphorical; 通常中性，用于多种语境
All listed words share the spelling ending '-ness' and are pronounced with the same unstressed suffix /nəs/. The stressed vowel differs from 'darkness' (/ɑːr/), so they are not perfect rhymes, but they do partially rhyme. None of these words share the exact stressed vowel and following consonants of 'darkness', so there are no common perfect rhymes.
