The word often is an antonym (opposite) of seldom, and has a silent 't'.
The English word for "puyo" in Filipino can be translated as "squishy" or "soft." It often refers to something that is soft to the touch or has a yielding quality. In specific contexts, it can also denote certain types of soft or gelatinous foods.
"Often" is properly pronounced with the "T" being silent; i.e. "offen". Just as "Soft" with its enunciated "T" becomes "soften" with a silent "T", so too, "oft" yields "often" with a silent "T". Recently, people have begun to enunciate the "T", (figuring it must be in there for a reason), resulting in the mispronunciation "off-ten". But all this is temporary. Soon, dictionaries will tell us that "off-ten" is "variant pronunciation", then an "accepted variant pronunciation" until finally it becomes the "real" pronunciation. So if you pronounce it "off-ten" and someone gripes you about it, don't sweat it -- you're on the leading edge!
In the word "scratch," the silent letter is the "t." The "t" is not pronounced in the word, but it affects the pronunciation of the adjacent "ch" making it a "k" sound. Silent letters in English words can often be traced back to the word's etymology or historical development.
Many sources believe that pronouncing the T (off-ten) is an overcorrection (or an affectation), and that the correct pronunciation is with a silent T to rhyme with "soften." Both pronunciations are considered acceptable. In the US, however, the silent T pronunciation (of-fen) is preferred by a majority of English speakers.
