Context & Register

Pronunciation & Spelling
Words sharing the prefix 'sub-' (subway, substitute, submerge) do not rhyme with submarine. 'Marine' shares the ending '-ine' but is pronounced /məˈriːn/ with a long e sound, while submarine ends in /iːn/ after /m/, so they do rhyme in some accents? Actually, submarine has stress on the last syllable? No, stress is on the third syllable: /ˌsʌbməˈriːn/. The stressed vowel is /iː/ and the following sounds are /riːn/. 'Marine' stressed on second syllable: /məˈriːn/ so the stressed vowel is also /iː/ and ending /riːn/? Wait, marine is /məˈriːn/ so it ends with /riːn/? Actually marine: /məˈriːn/ has the same /riːn/ as the last two syllables of submarine? Submarine: /ˌsʌbməˈriːn/ - the last two syllables are /məˈriːn/ so actually /məˈriːn/ is exactly marine? Yes, the last two syllables of submarine are the same as marine: /məˈriːn/. So they do rhyme perfectly if we consider the last two syllables? But typically rhyme requires same stressed vowel and following sounds. The primary stress in submarine is on the last syllable: /riːn/? Actually, pronunciation: /ˌsʌb.məˈriːn/ - primary stress on the final syllable /riːn/ (often indicated as /ˈriːn/ in some dictionaries, but the main stress is on the last syllable). Yes, so the stressed vowel is /iː/ and the rest is /n/ (since /r/ is before? Actually /riːn/ includes /r/ which is part of the onset of the stressed syllable? In 'marine', the stressed syllable is /riːn/ as well. So they rhyme. So we can say marine rhymes. But note 'subway' does not rhyme. So in pronunciation_note mention that marine rhymes exactly, while words with 'sub-' prefix share spelling but not sound.
