A hindu vs An hindu

The correct phrase is 'a Hindu.' The choice between 'a' and 'an' is determined by the sound that follows. In this case, 'Hindu' starts with a consonant sound, so 'a' is used.

A hindu

This is the correct construction. 'A' is used before words that start with a consonant sound.

Use 'a Hindu' when referring to a person who practices Hinduism. The choice of 'a' is based on the consonant sound at the beginning of 'Hindu.'

Examples:

  • She is a Hindu who follows the traditions of her faith.
  • I met a Hindu priest at the temple.

Alternatives:

  • a Buddhist
  • a Christian
  • a Muslim
  • a Sikh
  • a Jain

An hindu

This construction is incorrect. 'An' is used before words that start with a vowel sound.
