what is correct an honest or a honest

An honest is correct... the word honest starts with a vowel sound, since the letter "h" is not pronounced in this situation. It happens with other words that start with "h". Honest Honor Hour Hope this helps!!

an honest... always go with "sound" of vowel... hear sound of word "honest" is "o" it sounds "onest" so it sounds vowel.... same just opposite with word "uniform" it is always "a uniform" though it starts with vowel "u" but sound "yuniform" which sounds like consonant.... so when ever u get confuse just try to find the sound of the word...

An honest is correct. We use an with vowel sounds.

an honest is right though the word starts with a consonant but sounds like "o". OWAISE SHAREEF hello english learner.
