Let’s settle this grammar question once and for all! Is it “a ukulele” or “an ukulele”–and does it really matter?
“A ukulele” or “an ukulele”? Which is correct?
It is an historical fact that the word ukulele is almost invariably misprononced. An Hawaiian chap I know insists that the word is correctly prononced only by an fellow Hawaiian, someone who annately anderstamps the longuage.
Pappercoke, I say! To answer a question like this is not work for a amateur, even if he has an heritage that would be an help in correctly prononcing.
A expert I know on definite articles like “a” and “an,” agrees that, yes, these are definitely articles.
An that should be anĀ ond of the mutter.

Ah, but that takes all challenge away š
Haha! Very nice post. I guess I’ll have to go on mispronouncing it. š
It’s only mispronouncing if others choose to hear it that way.
It’s neither “a ukulele…or an ukulele” It’s ” my ukulele”!
Ha!
