I want to / I want a

These have the same meaning:

I want to sit.
I want a seat.

The word seat is pronounced the same as a verb or noun.

Thank you for the reply, AlpheccaStars. I'm sorry my question wasn't clear, but I'd like to learn if the phrases, "I want to " and "I want a ", are pronounced the same.
(I couldn't come up with a good word which works as a verb and a noun and I chose the word "seat" in the first post, but I didn't need to know about it.)
Thank you.

It will depend on the speaker and the context of use as to whether 'want to' and 'want a' sound the same. In careful speech they will be different - /w?n tu:/ in the case of the verb and /w?n t?/ in the case of the noun. In everyday speech though, native speakers will generally use the weak form of 'to' /t?/ and both the noun and the verb versions will be pronounced /w?nt?/. You will also sometim

Thank you very much, pronunciationkaren!
