      Because it's en hatt.

      En vit hatt.

      Ett vitt hus.

          It comes a small bit farther up the tree, in the lesson Adjectives 1.

                  'katt' is more pronounced of a k. /kʰæt/ 'hatt' you can hear a trace, but it is definitely different. /hæt/

                    The a is not /æ/, but /a/.

                        vita is used with definites and/or plurals.
