发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
None of these words rhymes with talkative (/ˈtɔkətɪv/). They are spelling lookalikes: all end in -ative. Talkative is stressed on the first syllable, and its stressed vowel /ɔ/ is not matched by any common -ative word. Creative and native use /eɪtɪv/; relative, imaginative, alternative, and narrative use an unstressed /ətɪv/ suffix, so they only look similar, not sound like a rhyme.
