Pronunciation & Spelling
These words all rhyme with striving: the stressed vowel /aɪ/ is followed by /vɪŋ/. Beware lookalikes: giving /ˈɡɪvɪŋ/ and living /ˈlɪvɪŋ/ share the spelling -iving but have a short /ɪ/, and starving /ˈstɑːrvɪŋ/ differs in its vowel; none of them rhymes with striving. Also, do not confuse striving with striven /ˈstrɪvən/.
