Would it be "a utopia" or "an utopia"?

Question

If I am describing a utopia, would I write "In a utopia..." or "In an utopia..."? Which is grammatically correct?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

In writing and in speaking 'utopia' is usually preceding the indefinite article (a) (Utopia is a...)

When using the conjunction or indefinite article before the utopia', it is correct to use a, not an, as the sound made by the letter 'u' is a hard u. (A utopian state of mind.)

Answer 2

A Utopia

Answer 3

In a utopia...



The deal with "a" or "an" is that you only use "an" when the next word begins with a vowel SOUND. Utopia begins with a vowel when you spell it, but it isn't really pronounced with a vowel. Therefore, go with "a." In a utopia....

Answer 5

ummmm well i guess technically it's supposed to be "an" but i would use "a" b/c you don't make a vowel sound when you say "utopia"...it sounds more like you're saying YOU-topia, ya know?

stick with the "a"

Answer 6

You have to use AN before a word that starts with a vowel. (But I'm from Missouri in the countryside and if I hadn't known that, I would have said A LOL!)

Answer 7

An "oooo" or A "you".
