the-post-before,
Title: what does 'ryhme' Really mean?

the last "part" of a word sounds the same of another?
like, competition and radiostation....

coz, I got this in my email, its said,
"I bet you can't find any word that ryhmes with
Orange
Silver
Purple
Month.

orange -- carnage
Silver -- shiver
purple -- pupil
Month -- mouth
am I wrong?

and aliteration is the First "part" of the word right?

 

[Sephy]

No....those words don't rhyme..
A rhyme is like this..
I like to pout
But I hate to shout

I like to eat meat
But I hate getting beat

 

[Sephy]

Alliteration is using the first consonant of a word..
Sally slithered small snakes under the snails

 

[Josh]

Those aren't rhymes

 

[konichiwa]

A rhyme, technically, happens when two words have the same vowel sound followed by the same consonant sound. Doesn't matter how they're spelled so long as they have the same SOUND:

clear
beer
shear

those all rhyme. An eye rhime is when it looks like it should rhyme, but it doesn't...and I can't think of any right now.

So andy, your rhymes don't work. oruh-nj -- carn-a-j, etc...

 

[UG]

"rhyme Etomologically, ryhme and rhythm are the same word. Both go back to medival Latin ruymus 'rhythm,' but whereas rhythm has reached us almost unchanged, rhyme has come via a branch line.

The sort of accented verse to which the medival Latin word was applied commonly rhymed, and so when rythmus passed into early Old French as *rtime, it carried connotations of 'rhyming' with it.

This later developed to rime, and when English borrowed it as rime, it still contained the notion of 'rythm'; but by the 13th century 'rhyme' was becoming its main meaning.

The spelling rhyme, which emerged around 1600, represents a conscious partial return to the word's ultimate ancestors, Latin rhythmus and Greek rhuthmos.

rhythm Rhythm goes back ultimately to Greek ruthmos. This originally meant 'recurring motion,' and was related to the verb rhein 'flow' (source of English catarrh and diarrhoea). It was subsequently applied to 'recurrent accents in verse,' in which sense it passed into English via Latin rhythmus. (Later Old French alteration of the word led to English rhyme.)"

Umm, Seph, is there any particular reason you chose to rhyme with the words BEAT and MEAT?
