Hello! Hope everyone is having a pleasant Tuesday!

How do you say the word "Tomato"?

Tomahto or Tomayto?

As for myself, Tomayto

Here in the UK it's most definitely tomahto

margd · Dec 15, 2015

I pronounce it tomayto as well but have to admit I love hearing a crisp British accent saying tomahto!

TOMAHTO.

Just like the Queen does, in a very proper British accent.

Depends on where I am. At home, "to-meh-toe" (like a cross between to-mah-toe and to-may-toe). Here, "to-may-toe". When in Rome and all that.

I'm in the mid-west... technically, to-may-toe. Realistically (and probably because I am so close to Kentucky? LOL) I say: tuh-mater, tuh-mato, or 'mater.

raysmyheart · Dec 15, 2015

I say ta may do, with a "d" sound not a "t" sound and I'm from south-central Massachusetts, USA. I also pronounce it ta, rather than toe!

I know I have said it this way since I was a child. Anyone else from Mass say it this way? I am close to Rhode Island.

Winchester · Dec 16, 2015

Most of the time I do say "tomaytoe".

I said "maters" one time to my sister; thought she was going to have a heart attack. I told her I was going out to plant maters. She was not amused. So now, of course, I say it that way just to agitate.

And so does my nephew!
