Snowbirds...lol
I say it like Matt...though, when telling people what the car is, I seem to have to repeat it a few times before they understand.

Actually, a CAR DEALER pronounced it Yare-is, so I started to wonder!!! I always called it Yah-ris... Someone asked me what it meant, and I said I thought "bunny" or "rabbit" in some foreign language or other; has anyone heard that one before???

やりすぎだ~

What? YARE and YAH sound the same to me whether it be "is" or "ris" at the end...
Unless one pronounces it like YEAH-ris. Like in "Hell Yeah!-ris" I think it's the plural form that's confusing. Is it Yarises, Yaris (like plural for fish), or Yarii? Oooh the English language is so beautiful. I at this thread, too! |

Those are some unusual definitions of "yaris"
I wonder if Toyota has their own meaning for the name? We say 'yaar...is' |
