Minimal pair

[Unregistered]

Hi, can you please help me to identify if green-bean is a minimal pair?

Thanks.

definition of minimal pair: a pair of words, as pin and bin, or bet and bed, differing only by one sound in the same position in each word, esp. when such a pair is taken as evidence for the existence of a phonemic contrast between the two sounds.

gr (ee) n

b (ea) n


There are different beginnings and endings, and the sounds are not exactly the same. They do rhyme, however.
