"an" MTR Station???

gabriela0407

請問各位,

點解MTR Station 前面係要加"an", 而不是"a" or "the" 呢??
多謝各位解答, thank you.

I think it is "e".

You're right, unclejt. I'll edit my message.

It's because the sound of "M" in "MTR" starts with the sound of "a" (similar to "am").
Whenever the sound of the word starts with the sound of a,e,i,o,u will use "an" instead of "a".

I think it is "e".

It's because the sound of "M" in "MTR" starts with the sound of "e" (similar to "em").
Whenever the sound of the word starts with the sound of a,e,i,o,u will use "an" instead of "a".

The case is just similar to "an hour".

Therefore, a KCR train, but an MTR train.
