what rhymes with Subliminal?

Answer 1

1) Only PERFECT rhymes are: criminal, vinimal** (and the root form "liminal")

(** 'pertaining to twigs'

2) But since "m" and "n" are very close sounds, "minimal" is a very good 'NEAR rhyme'.

3) Beyond this, the next best option is to look for words in which the vowels all match (assonance) as well as the final -al sound. (And the closer the other consonants are to 'm' and 'n', the better.) This is because the word's ACCENT falls on the first syllable. Word-rhyme is based on sound correspondence BEGINNNING with the vowel of the syllable with the main accent. For this reason, it is NOT true that you can just use any word that ends with -al ! (And note that it is the SOUND you want to match -- words ending with -ul may sound the say as those with -al.)

inal - (ab)original, libidinal, medicinal, original, vicinal
imal - intimal

Other words with the "-i-i-al" pattern (and proper accent), such as:
[especially -ical words] clinical, inimical, dominical, rabbinical, cynical
critical, juridical, parasitical, political, pontifical, physical, elliptical, typical, umbilical
digital, occipital, pitiful

4) Since the middle "i" (the -nim- part) is a short, unaccented vowel, and so de-emphasized, words with another short vowel in this place might work. For instance:

with short e - visceral, liberal, literal, centripetal
with "schewa" vowel - pivotal, centrifugal, (un)equivocal. and words that end with "-itional", such as additional, conditional, fictional, traditional, transitional


5) Additional consonants at the end are sometimes OK: "difficult"

6) Finally, in SOME instances (depending on the context in the poem or the type of poem [limericks are more forgiving!]) you might get away with a word in which the accented vowel does not match, e.g., "seminal" (short e for short i; works rather well), "animal". But be especially careful here.

Answer 2

virtually a majority of those old nursery rhymes and songs have persevered because of the fact they have been so cleverly written. maximum of those all of us understand originated in Europe, the place the feudal device replaced into the norm is maximum countries. This social shape replaced into virtually an invitation to scorn, ridicule and dismiss by the folk on the decrease social strata. many of the actual meanings of the rhymes weren't got here upon until eventually many many years later by researchers; by this time the songs and rhymes have been assimilated into the language and customs of the folk. maximum folk nonetheless do no longer understand the historic previous of those verses, and so as that they remain used to amuse and pacify little ones. and that's a competent component while something designed for damaging use turns right into a super gadget for childrearing. it is variety of like considered one of the different questioners replaced into asking this evening, "can we learn from our errors?"
