How the fuck do you pronounce the name of this Greek bullshit?
I've always understood it to be like "Hero" - keep in mind that I've never even had one, so I don't claim to know if it's the correct way or not.

Just a note:
Dear Clapistanis, please be so kind and realize that the singular name of this food is "Gyros" as in "Can I have a Gyros?". Please just drop that gyro bullshit, cause it drives me up the wall.

Everyone else in this thread is wrong
I thought it was pronounced like gyration.
>>7209454
Your brain is gyrating.
Gyros in english, Γύρος in greek its usually with pork meat but i prefer chicken, less fat and u can have it with pita bread or normal sandwich bread
Its not doner,doner is some turkish paki disgusting shit, not even meat.

I don't believe you are correct.
It's Guy-row
The stuff that they sell as gyros abroad is an abomination. Usually it's some disgusting fucking ground meat paste, almost certainly from the very worst parts. And if it isn't the paste, it's lamb. Nobody eats lamb gyros in Greece.

I'm sorry, but as partial payment for your debt we have taken the name of your food and changed it. You'll have to buy it back from us.

According to my stupid ex-roomate.
>>7209211
Gyro - "yur-oh" or "year-oh", the latter being more westernized
>>7209707
Hah!

Looks like a greek burrito.
jai-row. like gyroscope.

You can call it kebab, shawarma, döner, grec or turc.

To you a hero is some kind of a weird sandwich

Nobody will think less of you if you just call them gyros. It's somewhat faggy when english speakers try to correctly pronounciate words from hundreds of languages.
But for the sake of information the phonetics is written on wikipedia:
"A gyro or gyros [ˈʝiros]"

Amen. But also fuck you because now I must have one.

if I remember the semester of greek I took in high school it's 'gu-ros' and the plural is 'gu-roi,' but I think attic greek might have different pronunciation than modern greek.
>>7209211
1. Start having normal phonetic language
2. be able to pronounce everything
I am cucked by Arabs: Kebap
I am spending my money on dem Greek hoes: Yee-roe
I am friends with diaspora: Yee-rows
I want to suck Greek cock: Tee-lee-kto
Hercules lend me your stregnth: Sue-vla-key

Could they have been speaking Pontic Greek? A lot of the Greeks who settled in my town were originally from Anatolia, moved to Greece proper after WWI, then fled here during the Greek Civil War.

My city has the highest percentage of greek americans in the US. The gyros here are pretty fucking sweet. My dad is from greece and pronounces it "jai-roze" but i think he does it to mock WASPs. I always pronounce it "hee-rose" with that throaty greek h sound.
