Potato

[jumpingbeans]

I was just wondering how the Neopets population of the world pronounced the word potato. Not any else, like a plan for world domination, or anything like that.No. :sad01_anim:

[Masaryk]

I mostly pronounce it as "Blarg!" :sick01: I really don't like 'em. I'll tolerate them, so long as they are deep-fried, but only because they mostly just taste like generic fried food then.

 

Seriously, though, I say it as po-TAY-to.

[Divya Bean]

PO TAYYYYYY TO!!! I generally dont like them unless they are fries. Yummy. That is the only reason that I dont insult McDonalds. :laughingsmiley:

[Noog]

Who cares? We're lucky that we have so much choice, in some languages different pronunciations of the same spelling have completely different meanings.

 

(before you rant, I realize we have those too, such as read and read (present and past tense) for example. But the English language has very few.)

hallelujah to that! I'm fairly certain I would be confused all the time if English was like that. It would be another b p d issue for me (I have serious issues remembering which letter I need to use and half the time when I right it on paper i write the wrong one and then just end up making a new letter that looks like all them combined :whistle: )

 

But yeah, I say potato. Haha, after typing that I realized that typing does not illustrate how I say something...fail...

Po-TAY-to for me. xD

I'd feel so awkward saying 'Po-TAH-to'.

[CAV of Gang Green]

It depends how you want to pronounce it. You can pronounce it "Extargraphiltato" and I won't care.

[Quark]

PoTAYto.

I have never heard anyone say poTAHto, not even here in Jersey where everyone seems to say everything different. (Although I will have you know that NO ONE says Joisey. ;p)

[Luciana]

It's pronounced puh-tey-toh. Not once have I ever heard someone seriously say it the other way.

btw, your poll is messed up.

[Tyler.]

Po TAH to

I don't know why I'm just different

[Meagan]

I say po-tay-toe. Although on occasion I do say po-tay-ter, just as a joke.

[Cornflakes]

I say "poe-tay-toe"

 

But here in Tennessee we also say "taters" and sometimes "poe-tay-tahs" and even "per-tay-ters" like on Sling Blade. sigh

[Spritzie]

I pronounce it that same way. And for fun, once in awhile, I saw pa-taters. :laughingsmiley:

[Luciana]

I'm starting to wonder how often you all say "potatoes." ._.

[Featherstar]

Hahaha. x3 I just said it to myself like ten times just reading through these posts. xD

[Derek]

PO - Tayy - toe :)
