Talk:potato

Polish translation
Please note that the Polish word "pyra" for a potato is used exclusively in the region of Greater Poland and it probably won't be understood elsewhere.
 * See pyra. Rod (&#9742; Smith) 00:19, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Pronunciation: poteito/potahto
Should we add something about this? Meneth (talk) 02:49, 7 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Nobody anywhere pronounces it "potahto", as far as I know. Certainly in Britain we don't; it isn't like "tomato". Equinox ◑ 03:31, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
 * This is silly. We've had the discussion before and it had a long history before us. Rather than do it again, let's call the whole thing off. DCDuring TALK 04:29, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes. But it's pronounced "potahto" in the phrase, and this phrase should be mentioned somewhere. How do you spell it? potato, potahto has some hits. Kolmiel (talk) 01:52, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Okay, I've just seen that we already have potayto, potahto. It's also in the derived terms already. So we actually have added something about it. Kolmiel (talk) 01:57, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

"Potatoes" as slang for "money"
Possibly only in ? e.g. "Mr. Justin Veezee has plenty of potatoes". Equinox ◑ 01:33, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Interwiki links are broken
@Benwing2, @Sameerhameedy:

Hi, just letting you know that is not working on  with "fa-ira", it should link to Persian wiki's fa:سیب‌زمینی, just like  with "fa". (Should also work with fa-cls")

The rest of the functionality seems to be much better. Thanks! Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 01:36, 27 October 2023 (UTC)


 * @Benwing2, @Sameerhameedy:
 * I tried to add "fa-cls" and "fa-ira" the same way in . It didn't fix the interwiki problem. Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 07:40, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Atitarev I thought I fixed this before. I will take a look tomorrow or the next day. Benwing2 (talk) 07:46, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
