Pronunciation & Spelling
Words 'graduate' and 'undergraduate' rhyme with 'postgraduate' (all have stressed /æ/ and ending /dʒuɪt/). Other words like 'evaluate', 'situate', 'conjugate', 'postulate' share the '-ate' spelling but are pronounced with final /eɪt/ and have different stress patterns, so they do not rhyme.
