similarities

/ˌsɪmɪˈlærɪtiz/

nounsim · i · lar · i · ties

Think: **SIM** (same) + **ILAR** (sounds like “I LAR-”) + **ITIES** (many “-ity” things) → **similarities** = many ways things are the same.

Yes, it's similarities. Don’t drop the second **i**: it’s **sim-i-lar-i-ties** (two **i**’s before **ties**).
