记忆技巧Memory Tip
记法：suggestive 拼着 suggest（暗示），但它的暗示是“撩人”的——像挤眉弄眼，让你一个劲儿想歪。

发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Rhymes with the target: festive, restive, digestive, congestive (all have stressed /ɛstɪv/). Exhaustive is a lookalike: it ends in -stive but has /ɔː/ instead of /ɛ/, so it does not rhyme. Also beware 'suggest' /səˈdʒɛst/, 'suggestion' /səˈdʒɛstʃən/, and 'suggestible' /səˈdʒɛstəbəl/, which look related but end with different sounds.
