Respuesta :
Stern- means to be serious and unrelenting
learn- gain knowledge
learn- gain knowledge
We can compare and contrast the two words "stern" and "learn" in the following manner:
1. The two words sound similar. As a matter of fact, the letters "ern" in "stern" and "earn" in "learn" represent the exact same sound. For that we reason, we can say the two words rhyme with each other.
2. They do have a difference in pronunciation when it comes to the other letters. We can say "stern" has two phonemes "s" and "t" that "learn" does not possess. On the other hand, "learn" has the phoneme "l" that "stern does not posses.
3. The words also differ in meaning. "Stern" means serious while "learn" is the verb that indicates the action of gaining knowledge.
- When two words rhyme, that means their final sounds are the same.
- A phoneme is the smallest unit of sound we can produce.
- Therefore, if words have the same final phonemes, even if the first ones are different, they rhyme with each other.
- NOTE: I found this question online asking the same about "stern" and "yearn" instead of "learn".
- If that is supposed to be the case here, and the word "learn" was just a typo, this answer still applies.
- "Yearn" means to long for something, to crave something.
