The spelling of the word "hospitage" can be quite confusing due to its French origin. The correct pronunciation is /ˈhɒspɪtɑːʒ/, with the emphasis on the first syllable. The "h" is silent and the "t" is pronounced only when followed by an "i" or "e." The "g" is also silent, as is common in many French words. "Hospitage" means lodgings or accommodation and is often used in the context of hospitality management. So, whether you're trying to spell it or say it out loud, remember the silent letters in this word!
