The joy of mn. I'm sitting on my own silently until this thread, which had left me saying vegetable outloud several timed, leading my oh to come to check on me. "What was that?", "I was saying vegetable".

The 2nd... Or veg-e-taa-blur if I'm satirising the French

user892 · 04/02/2017 20:14

Actually, mine is more like veg-ta-baw

pinkmagic1 · 04/02/2017 20:15

The second one. 3 syllables (sp?) not 4.

PurpleNurple69 · 04/02/2017 20:21

My kids pronounce it "gedditoffmyplate" Smile

bedouincheek · 04/02/2017 20:22

I pronounce it without a T - Veg-duble

Trills · 04/02/2017 20:22

Vej ta bull

Trills · 04/02/2017 20:23

I need to know WHY you are asking

EmmaWoodlouse · 04/02/2017 20:23

veg-ta-ble

Trills · 04/02/2017 20:23

I normally say that typing out pronunciations is a but useless because English doesn't work like that.

I definitely don'e pronounce the middle e though.

TheTAW · 04/02/2017 20:25

Veg-ta-bul. Can't stand the pronunciation veg-e-table.

Wed-ns-day also irritates me.

Trills · 04/02/2017 20:28

It's clearly Wends-day.

The same way it's obviously Marley-bone.

Waterfeature · 04/02/2017 20:29

Only ostentatiously posh people say "vedge- e-table". Same sort that say "Weddd ns day". Deeply objectionable Grin
