Poll: How do you pronounce Tomato?

[cartzo]

the way the americans and the english pronounce words differently is quite interesting, in the words of eddy izzard.

"you say tom-ay-toe, we say tuh-mah-toe,
you alu-mi-num, we say ali-min-ium,
you say erbs, we say herbs,
because there's a fucking H in it."

 

[Ekonk]

Tomaat.

When speaking english though, toh-mah-toe.

 

[GrinningManiac]

To-mah-toe

the "Mah" sound is "Maah", not "Ma"

 

[Hellenion]

"cough"wemadeupthewordinthefirstplace"cough"

 

[epsilon246]

toe-ma-toe

 

[Kirky]

To-mah-toe here, same as pretty much everyone else in England.

 

[HerrBobo]

Ta-mat-o for me.

 

[messy]

ermm the right way?

 

[thrubeingcool13]

Tuh-made-oh

 

[Hazy]

Toe-May-Toe.

 

[Iampringles]

Toe marto.

 

[ae86gamer]

Tuh-made-oh

I pronounce it the same way. ^_^

 

[SomethingUnrelated]

Hot Tamale, Hot Hot, Tamale!

Excuse me...

To-Mah-Toh

 

[ErGo]

Tomat ..

 

[Cavouku]

Ketchup. I don't refer to tuh-mey-tohs any other way.

What about Catsup?

I go with "ay."

Well Mr. Arthur Fonzarelli, as you may or may not know, cats obey laws of gravity just like everything else. I do admit that cats can jump very well but you can't coordinate them well so the term "cats-up" or "catsup" seems an unneeded turn of phrase.

p.s. Ketchup was the first coined name for the condiment. There is no "s" or "a" in the word. Not even the respective sounds of those letters are there. Therefore: Ketchup.

Oh that was worth bringing up the almost-never-used variation, just for the speal. That made my day, thanks,

 

[DazZ.]

Toe-may-toe!

Partartisho. (I don't know what that means but I said it, so it might be relevant.)

 

[Mozared]

Like Potato with an M.
