To pronounce it as "ket-chp" not "ketch-up"

[YesterdayOnceMore]

My DH thinks that I pronounce it incorrectly.

Do you say "ket-chp" all one word, the end syllable pronounced quickly and sounding a bit like a Northern "up" (oop), or do you say "ketch-up", with the end syllable almost separate and sounding like a Southern "up" and the whole word sounding a bit like "catch up"??

I say tomato sauce

Ketch op

Tommy K

Ketchup

Which just thinking about it is an odd word, it doesn't roll off the tongue and is spelt strangely I wonder how it became to be

red sauce here but if i say the proper word its ketchup one word but no northern oop

DP and I are both Londoners - but we don't have Laandaan accents, just neutral RP.

I say ketch-up (as in 'southern' pronunciation of 'up')
DP says catch-up (he was brought up in Canada)

HTH

Tomato sauce is what you make to have with pasta, with basil or chilli etc....

Never heard ketchup being called that?

I call it red sauce, never use the word ketchup.

But I'm saying it in my head and if I was saying it I would say it with two syllables, ketch-up.

Ketch - up
Like the spelling

Mrsmugoo round where I live, what you're describing would probably be known as 'pasta sauce' Tomato sauce or red sauce would be ketchup, but I've never heard anyone call it ketchup in real life (apart from on TV).

ketch-up - but northern up, definitely not oop.

Exactly what treaclesoda said.

Ketch up

We say cat poo

A leftover from dc's toddlerhoood...

If I was to say it though I'd say ketchip.

Makes me think my grandad used to say red sauce so presumably that's what my mum used to say, I wonder if she stopped saying it like myself as when it's even close to called red sauce, my dad always goes on about it and makes a joke about passing the blood...which gets a bit annoying if you hear it more than once

I think I might have to start saying tomato sauce instead!!

I also have problems with the word Latte having read about it on MN. I had to change my coffee order since I read that and became unsure about the pronoucination!

Lattay easy... No 'R'

Surely latte is just pronounced latty??

Ket-chup

Although my ketchup is brown sauce.

It's a frappe that I never order because I don't know how you say it..

"Surely latte is just pronounced latty??" What, like 'fatty', 'natty' or 'tatty', Even?

No, it is lattay.

Frappé = frappay

ketch-up but also say tomato sauce.
