soronzo:the "H" in hour is traditionally silent, the H is not pronounced. So it's "an hour" because the H is silent according to English pronunciation. Same as HONOUR, HONOURABLE, HONESTY, HONEST etc.the H in all these words I mentioned are silent 2 Likes |

collitexnaira:I'll like to disagree with the reason you gave, that it's because the word 'Hotel' begins with letter "H"..what of words like "hour", "honest" of which consonant letter H begins it as well, does that mean article "A" can go with it? No..it lies more in its pronunciation. I hope you can see it in my own point of view. #Shalom |

It also depend on your pronunciation if H silent in your historic or hotel you can use An but if the h is sound in your pronunciation you have to use A 1 Like |

Originalsly:Some monikers have answered your question already..it all lies in the pronunciation! Only the D option has a prominent consonant sound at the beginning..the rest have silent consonants..for example, horse is pronounced 'a horse' because the H is not silent...horror is pronounced 'A horror movie' because the H is not silent. But when the H is silent in the case of the word Hour (which is pronounced as our)for example, you use an instead of a...so it becomes 'an hour' not 'a hour'...comprehendé? |

Re: A Hotel Or An Hotel, Which One Is Correct? by Randomshotzz(m): 10:43am On Mar 20, 2019 |
It's only a Yoruba person can pronounce it "an hotel" . They assume all "h" are silent because "h" does not exist in Yoruba alphabets. |

AkpaMgbor: I hear you....that was directed to Collit whatever....since I guess after reading everything he concluded A hotel because hotel begins with H... a consonant . |

a, and an are indefinite article. Since they are indefinite article, a hotel and an hotel is correct; but if you are looking at it from the grammatical rules of pronunciation of words that begins with consonants, then a hotel is write while an hotel is wrong. |
