Word **もっと** is pronuncing as **motto** means more. But when writing It is
**mo(も) tsu(っ) to(と)**.

Why is that ? I'm new to Japanese language.

Please tell me there are other commonly used words like this ? Please give me
some examples.

question
hiragana spelling
Why is もっと pronounced "motto" but written "motsuto"?
This is a double consonant sound. It's denoted by the smaller size **つ**. So
instead of the word being pronounced as **Mo-tsu-to** , it is pronounced
**Mot-to** because of the **っ**. That is why you have two _t_ 's instead of
just Mo-to. This is similar to **かった** in which the actual pronunciation is
**kat-ta** instead of **ka-tsu-ta.** Another consonant sound is added before
**っ** that is similar to the one following it. That is why in both **もっと** and
**かった** the tsu is replaced by a "t" because the kana following **っ** are
**と** and **た** , which both start with a "t" sound. This is why it is called
a double consonant sound.

**That character is not exactly the tsu-character!**

The second character of **もっと** is called **sokuon** , it's not the normal
hiragana 'つ'. The difference is that the sokuon is smaller (other than that,
they are identical, so your question is totally understandable). For this
reason it is also called small-tsu (or _chiisaitsu_ in Japanese).

The sokuon is used to carry the consonant sound of the second character to the
end of the first. In
[rōmaji](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanization_of_Japanese), that is
represented by doubling the consonant, that's why もっと is romanized as
**motto**. This change in pronunciation (from _moto_ to _motto_ ) is not at
all trivial, and it takes some time to get used to it.

There are other characters in Japanese that are small versions of others.
There are, for example, the small 'ya' (ゃ), 'yu' (ゅ), 'yo' (ょ), used to create
sounds like 'kya' (きゃ), 'shu' (しゅ), 'cho' (ちょ), and so on. This also happens
in katakana, not only hiragana. Since you are a beginner, I totally recommend
reading this: [Tae Kim's Guide to Japanese ‐
Hiragana](http://www.guidetojapanese.org/learn/grammar/hiragana). It covers
all those things about hiragana, and it's very well written (that's exactly
what I used to learn!)
