How do you pronounce...

I go for the second version , no "r " in that vegetable

Second one for me too.

Well there is, but nearer the end...

I say oh as well.

Second for me too. Won't a dictionary give the correct pronunciation?

I pronounce it the 2nd way too but it's illogical as it begins the same as autumn (ortum!) As do Austria (which my PiL pronounced Orstria) and Australia (which they pronounced Ostralia)

I've confused myself now!!

Call it eggplant!!

Definitely the second version.

It's ohbergine - because it is derived from French.

Never heard any one use anything but the second version, which is what I say myself.

Oh......definitely ( maybe)

I never heard Autumn nor Austria pronounced with a "r" in !!

I say brinjal.

How do you say autumn then aggie - do you say ohtumn?

I say Awetumn , is it not awkward putting an "r" in there ?

Splitting hairs rather, aggie! I don't actually pronounce the 'r' in 'or'...

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

I'm pretty sure we all do...

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

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

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

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

Oh-bergeene (very soft 'g')

Or Eggplant!

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

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

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!
