Pronunciation & Spelling
Words ending in -mate: in 'classmate', 'roommate', and 'teammate', the final '-mate' sounds /meɪt/, matching the '-mate' in 'playmate'. In 'intimate' (adjective), 'ultimate', and 'climate', the final '-mate' is pronounced /mət/ instead. Remember that the primary stress in 'playmate' falls on 'play', not on the final syllable, so full rhymes with these words are not guaranteed by the -mate ending alone.
