It's pronounced...YEE-ROS
This discussion is the proper way to pronounce the name of this tasty Greek sandwich.
Our staff took on this assignment about the proper pronunciation of the word "gyros," and after much long, arduous research, we still disagreed on the matter. We can at least find solace in the fact that it is difficult to quickly dig up two people who agree about this. Finally, we found some type of resolution to this dilemma.
1. If you insist on using the "correct" Greek pronunciation, go ahead and say "yee-ros."
2. But if you want to make sure that you are understood and avoid possibly being thought
pretentious, just say "jai-ros."
