Celebrate and calibrate share the ‘-brate’ spelling and end in /-breɪt/, matching American English vibrate (/ˈvaɪbreɪt/). In British English vibrate is /vaɪˈbreɪt/, so the stress shifts. Create, debate, and translate also end in -ate, but their final syllable is stressed /-eɪt/; they rhyme with each other, not with vibrate.
