How do you pronounce...

2nd version, definitely

Eggplant, but we also have flipping words like yoghurt and hummus that I get lost on with the spelling changing. Think hummus use to br spelt hummous...am I going totally barmy with this one?

But nobody really says 'potahto' do they?

Oh-berjean with stress on the oh

With the different US pronunciations, I had to get used to Row [as in how] ter, when I say Rooter!...

Potayto Potahto

'Which' sorry about that.

Do tell us why ch DDIL uses.

AlieOxon I lived in a state that bordered Canada and many French Canadian settled in our area in the 1800s to work at the shipyards in Maine.

French names like Cormier (Kor-me-ay) are pronounced Kor-me-yer, as they wanted to be more accepted.

It's the second one petitpois and the /g/ is pronounced as the /g/ in "rouge"!

Which is what Australians call it too.

Going round an Australian veggie garden is quite confusing!

Should we resort to the Transatlantic 'eggplant'?

Number two for me

My real block is - American surnames. I never know, when it looks like a European name, if it's going to be different!
E.g Wagner....is it Wagg-ner or Varg-ner?

Defo the 2nd version.

It's funny how the English mangle words of "foreign" origin. Eg Delia Smith pronounces balsamic as "ball-samic". Sounds all wrong to me.

Second one like eau de cologne
Eau bergine

I speak with a friend in Iowa and we laugh how we pronounce words differently - ours in England seem to come from the French pronounciation whereas Americans follow Italian. And I go for the second choice whereas my friend would say eggplant!

Oh-bergine. In the Balearics it's called Oh-ber-Jenny

Oh-bergine! Unless you are talking about that much less appetising sounding vegetable the "Egg Plant"

Oh-bergeene (very soft 'g')

Or Eggplant!

I am inclined to the rolled "r"s , mind you I left Scotland 70 yrs ago !

Perhaps it's the Scottish pronunciation, aggie. If I say, for example, 'one or two' there is no 'r' sound.

The french around here pronounce 'au' as 'or', or even just open 'o'.
Our county town is Auch - usually pronounced 'osh'.

what do you mean Ana ? I pronounce the R in "or" , maybe it's my false teeth getting in the way ! Do you mean awe instead of oh ? just asking

I'm pretty sure we all do...

I say oh --when I say autumn I think I pronounce it like awe as in awesome , no r.
