Question

Chipotle: How is it really pronounced.

I have heard this pronounced quite a few ways, What is the real way to say CHIPOTLE

Here is how I have heard it spoken

Chip pot le
Chip podle
Chip olay
chip oat lay

Answer 1

It is pronounced chee-poht-lay. Chipotle is a Spanish contraction derived from the Nahuatl language of the Aztecs and means smoked chile pepper. In the Nahuatl language, chipotle was originally pochilli. In the Spanish version, chili refers to hot pepper and potle means smoked. The most commonly smoked chiles are jalapeños.

As you might imagine, "Chipotle" is commonly misspelled. Some of the more common misspellings include: chipolte, chipote, chipot, chipoteka, chipottle and chapolte.
