How do you pronounce it???

It's neither of those. It's pronounced Yar-is. Hence the spelling.

"Yare-is" = "Year-is" which sounds ridiculous.

"Yah-ris" = "Yeah-ris" which is incorrect as well (but acceptable).

Think "Jar"-"is" with a "Y".

There will always be Yay-hoos who pronounce it Yay-ris.

Yar-is is different from Yeah-ris. Yar-is is correct.

What's the problem?

I even remember the original Yaris commercials (when they actually advertised the Yaris) and the guy said Yar-is. You can look them up on Youtube.

Failure to properly annunciate Yaris will lead to punishment by the Toyota legal department. This is your final warning.

I'm most positive it's pronounced like yah-ris.
I was scared to go look in Urban Dictionary...which once again, didn't fail to amuse me. lol

Kal-El · 11-28-2008, 10:08 PM

Problem is, nothing perfectly rhymes with Yaris to compare it to.

CCILovePinkCC · 11-28-2008, 10:24 PM

LOL that's true...

Its called Yaris,pronounce it any way you want,if it really matters to you leave the house now and find a life. ,some people on the forum are oh so clever and pronounce it backwards.

Just check out original commercials like these where the guy says Yaris at the end. This is from Toyota and has to be right, right? Just listen.

See, it's "Yar-is".

As I said earlier, say "Yar" like "car", "jar", "bar", ect... Not "Yah" or "Yeah"

Does this settle it?
