Context & Register
语域：informal 常见场景：卧室、睡衣店、日常聊天 nightie 是 nightgown 或 nightdress 的口语化、亲昵说法，多用于日常对话或非正式场合，正式书面语中比较少见。
Pronunciation & Spelling
真正押韵：mighty /ˈmaɪti/、flighty /ˈflaɪti/，与 nightie /ˈnaɪti/ 的重读元音和后面读音相同。brownie、cookie、movie 都以 ie 结尾并读 /i/，但重读元音不同，不押韵。tight 的拼写含 ight，但读 /taɪt/，没有结尾的 /i/ 音，是拼写近似但读音不同的例子。
