Pronounciation of "homage"?

[QSis]

I've always said "HOM-idge". Now I hear more people on TV say "oh-MAJ".

The online pronounciations I've found (3 of them) are all the former.

How do YOU say it?

OH-mage, or something like that LOL. But, I always read way above me grade level and taught myself these words long before they got to pronunciation, so 9 out of 10 times I am wrong LOL.

Perhaps this will help. You can even hear a pronunciation if you click on the "speaker" icon.

The H is silent

depends upon whether you want to use the American or French pronounciation. In "American," it's OMij or HOMij. In French, it would be Oh-MAZH.

same thing with "Hermitage." In English, it's HERmitij. In French, airmeeTAZH
