My wife and I say Yarii for plural, Yaris for singular.
We also say Matrices when we're talking about more than one Toyota Matrix. Quote:
Sing - Plural criterion - criteria sheep - sheep brother - brethern (old) tooth - teeth forum - fora Besides, Yaris is a made-up word, which means nobody can be wrong. Wikipedia suggest that it was from from "ja"(German for yes) and "Charis"(a Greek god) |

Yes, earljail, you are absolutely correct; Yaris isn't even a real word. However, Yaris is a name. And the rule for pluralizing all names that end in "s" is to simply ad "es". |

due to the made-up nature of the word "yaris" in the first place, I propose we make up a new plural that does not follow any existing grammatical formats
Yaruscles?

oh god its the "how do you prounounce al queda" all over again. lol well its all a matter of preference. I however, do not mind the pronounciation of plural yar-eye to be pronounced as yar-ee.
cause yar-ee sounds like yur-ee. which is japanese for lesssssbians :]

damn video games have jacked me up. i pronounce yarii the "ee" fashion because of the nintendo wii. i dont think the yar-eye pronunciation is correct since that rule works for words ending in "-us", like cactus, octopus, lexus, etc... because of that, lets make it yar-ee since it sounds crazy fun, and you know you want to say it like that anyways! say it with me now... yar-EEEEEEE!!!!
