jazz_messenger  +  4201 Wed, 13 Aug 03 03:14 PM Hi, Which would be correct usage : 1. A unique 2. An Unique and why ? Cheers ! jazz_messenger Joined on Wed, Aug 13 2003 New Member 02

	Elena  +  4205 Wed, 13 Aug 03 03:37 PM As far as I know 'a unique' is correct because in that case 'u' is not a vowel but a semi-consonant (or semi-vowel) like in university, unify, uniform, utopia and many with the sound -/ju/ at the beggining of the word.

	kitkattail  +  4208 Wed, 13 Aug 03 03:48 PM Yes, that's right. A long "u" sound requires "a" rather than "an"; but the opposite is true of a short "u." kitkattail Joined on Tue, Aug 12 2003 Toronto Full Member 400

If you use it with a noun,you must use it with an,because "u" is a wovel! Any way,I think so,and this is my opinion! OrujoV Joined on Tue, Jan 13 2004 Baku,Azerbaijan New Member 10 Articles, Nouns
