an emoji vs a emoji

Both 'an emoji' and 'a emoji' are commonly used, but 'an emoji' is the correct form. The choice between 'a' and 'an' depends on the sound that follows. Since 'emoji' starts with a vowel sound, 'an' is used before it.

an emoji

This is the correct form.

Use 'an emoji' when referring to a single emoji. The use of 'an' is based on the vowel sound at the beginning of 'emoji'.

Examples:

  • Please send me an emoji to express your feelings.
  • An emoji can convey a lot of meaning in just a small image.
  • There's an emoji of wet ruby red lips.
  • It is him, but it's just an emoji of a kissy face.
  • But I don't think there's an emoji that rightfully expresses my feelings about losing 50K a month.
  • She sends me a winky face emoji.
  • With the knife emoji to symbolize warfare.
  • "Emoji" are little cartoons you text instead of words.
  • - What is wrong with emojis?
  • You kids today don't know the first thing about emojis.
  • I've gotten amazing at the art of the suggestive emoji.
  • However, between Malee and Wyatt, a plethora of lovey-dovey emojis.
  • Gina Linetti, the human form of the 100 emoji.
  • It's not just all smiley face emojis wearing sunglasses.
  • I guess I misread the emoji.
  • You can show me how to emoji things and stuff.
  • When I dump someone, I just send them a text with a thumbs-down emoji.
  • The English language cannot fully capture the depth and complexity of my thoughts, so I'm incorporating emoji into my speech to better express myself.
  • Okay. Now tweet it and write "hashtag best date ever" with three dancing heart emojis.
  • In high school, they used to call me emoji-wan Kenobi.
  • I just broke up with this guy Travis and he keeps sending me angry emojis.
  • It means you don't have emojis on your phone.

Alternatives:

  • a smiley face
  • a symbol
  • a character
  • an emoticon
  • a pictogram
