What about hour if u say they omitted d H in d case of hotel

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

A Hotel is correct

The word Hotel starts with a consonant letter H. That is why A Hotel is correct not An Hotel

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.

It's "a hotel"

Its is only my Yoruba brothers that say "an hotel" this is because most Yoruba people omit the "H" and start with "O" thereby putting "an" as the article.

Hence, it sounds an "'otel" instead of a "h"otel

Sharap there... what do you know?

Which of the following words should A be used before and why?

A. Hour. B. Honest. C. Honour. D. Hotel

Which one of the following words is the odd man out and why?
A. Hour B. Honest C. Hostel D. Honour

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

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?

Yoruba people are on this table

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.

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 .

What is an Hotel? All this yoruba people and their arrogant ignorance.

True shaa, but when u try to correct yorubas on this "a" or "an" issue, they will start insulting you, calling you Olodo.
I can't count how many time I have argued with them about this in the past

It's only in Nigeria different tribes speak different English...

U SAY WETIN?

It has been corrected thank you
Ha sido corregido gracias

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.

See question.. A Hotel simple as inserting ur prick into a p*ssy

Please Quora is a useless source.
Just like Nairaland, Quora is a forum, where anyone writes anything
Yes, I am on Quora and it is not a site anyone should take seriously

How about "An house"? Sure, you got it now.
