发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
No common word rhymes with obstinately because the stressed vowel /ɒ/ and the following syllables are not shared. However, fortunately, immediately, deliberately, approximately, and privately all share the spelling -ately and the unstressed final sound /ətli/. Definitely is also a sound match (it ends in /ətli/), but be careful: it is spelled -itely, not -ately. Also avoid confusing obstinately with the adjective obstinate /'ɒbstɪnət/, which lacks the final /li/.
