karatsupo & iute?

Except "carrot" is ニンジン, one of the most common and basic Japanese food words...

well, if it was "ー", and the text was being written vertically, it would then be a vertical line. Of course, if you're reading left to right and you see a "|", then I'd kinda worry.

yeah, sure, I get your meaning.
Still, this is not a katakana character written vertically...I mean the text is vertical, but the characters are written the way you would write 'em horizontally...I dunno if I'm clear...maybe I didn't actually understand entirely your words...

re: karatsupo

In linguistics the term 'corruption' refers to a word which has changed due to a history of misunderstanding (mispronunciation or misspelling). An example would be 'piggyback' which is a mispronunciation of 'pick-a-back'. It has nothing to do with pigs! I can't see your context, but assume that the 'carrot soup' which should indeed be 'karattu suppu' in Japanese, was misheard, the 'tsu' being mistaken for a syllable that belonged together, and that 'karatsupo' is therefore a corruption.
So Bugs Bunny was right. Itadakimasu!

Indeed the guy who says it speaks dialect, as I've read on some website...can't remember what dialect it was, though...

But what if it was dialect...?
Anyway, It probably is 'karappo'...The complete sentence is 'karappo (in katakana) nante iute...(in hiagana)' if it may help you...

[AJBryant]

Could you actually provide some *context* for the sentence?

Sure, even though there's not really much to say...the guy who pronounces the word is sitting next to his friend(both are gunslingers)...looks like they're gonna fight another duel and they're taking a break, drinking and talking about what it's going on...succesively the friend starts moaning or rather, crying...regretting something he did, maybe..but this is immediately after the friend says 'karappo nante iute...(the kanji for 'warui' ) katsuta'...

Haha a scan would be awesome...

No offense, but your romaji is horrid. It's not katsuta it's katta.
Also, more context of dialogue would be better. To know the subject of the sentences, etc, you need to know what sentences come before and after. That whole "regretting something he did, maybe" would be rather helpful, I'm afraid.

I believe you're trying to write
空っぽなんていって。。。悪かった。。。

Without knowing what they're talking about, it's difficult to figure out what exactly is being said, but it's something like.
"You said it was empty... Sorry."

Yeah, I knew it was katta, it just felt like a 'cutter' wouldn't make much sense but ok, I was wrong...
As for the other sentences, first an' after, if I knew 'em, I'd tell...unfortunately the page I'm talkin' about is just a preview so I don't have no idea what they said first and what they will say after.
Anyway, can you break it down...?
And 'iute' is the -te form of iu, as I've thought...? It just doesn't sound right. Isn't it 'itte'?
