Are you supposed to pronounce the "t" in often?

i usually pronounce it as offen, with no t but i was watching a youtube video and a lady said often and pronounced the t, and i was just like wtf? is that how your supposed to say it? I know its not a big deal but im just curious.

Answer #1

i think it just comes natural like we dont even think about it but we do

Answer #2

I’ve seen it both ways…

Answer #3

I don’t pronounce it with the t..i guess it just depends on how you would like to sound or how you were raised to say it. Without a t is how I say it without thinking.

Answer #4

Depends on the dialect of your community. There’s really no set way to pronounce words since English is just so diverse in its dialects and interpretations.

Answer #5

Your question has already been answered, but I personally pronounce it both ways.

Answer #16

I pronounce it with the “t.” Others say it differently. I guess it just depends on the person. It’s kind of like the word “probably.” Some say it the way it’s spelt while others pronounce it as “probally.” :)

Answer #17

NO its pronounced OFFEN Spelt OFFTEN. Dailects have nothing to do with it. Its like Whip, Ghost etc. I know people from all over the world and with the same dialects and say it differently. Thought having said that just because it may be accepted both ways dosent make it right xD
