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. — This unsigned comment was added by 85.221.170.61 (talk) at 17:54, 8 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 Damon Runyon? e.g. "Mr. Justin Veezee has plenty of potatoes". Equinox ◑ 01:33, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

1954: "the Irish builder's labourer can earn his potatoes at the third quickest rate in Europe." DCDuring (talk) 01:37, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Interwiki links are broken

@Benwing2, @Sameerhameedy:

Hi, just letting you know that {{t+}} is not working on سیب‌زَمینی (fa) (sib-zamini) with "fa-ira", it should link to Persian wiki's fa:سیب‌زمینی, just like سیب‌زَمینی (fa) (sib-zamini) 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 diff. 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)
