once i tried pronouncing it the greek way but the cute russian waitress thought i said euro and i was so embarassed that i felt like i wanted to hide under the table. she got embarassed too and tripped while walking back to the kitchen, and then came back to the table and apologized, which made us both even more embarrassed.

Pronouncing it jai-ro is actually correct based on how it is spelled so calling it "hyeer-oh" is double gay and faggot-pilled.

If Greeks don't want the gyro to be pronounced incorrectly, they should've changed the spelling before selling it in America. Fuck them and their feelings.

that's my reasoning. it has also always bothered me when americans bend over backwards to give dramatic "authentic" pronunciations to foreign-language words. news reporters are the biggest offenders. it's mexico, not meh-hee-ko, douchebag

>>12288784
According to the Turkish guy running a halal cart in NYC that I bought a falafel wrap from, its pronounced jai ro.

>>12289321
>americans bend over backwards to give dramatic "authentic" pronunciations to foreign-language words
The funny thing is that many people in Europe and Asia don't even bother to have correct pronunciations of foreign words. The obsession over having an "authentic" foreign pronunciation is mostly an American phenomenon.

WHY? It's the "stupid American" complex. So many people in Europe and Asia perpetuate the stereotype that most Americans are fat, stupid, and can't even locate their own country on the map that many Americans are obsessed over trying to disprove the stereotype and impress foreigners by trying too hard to have an "authentic" pronunciation.

Isn't just Americans. Valet in England used to be pronounced "val-et" at one point and we switched over to the (albeit correct) pronunciation of "val-ey".

>>12289321
I think it’s ok to an extent. Pronouncing it halapenyo instead of jalapino is fine.I live in Southern California and it makes me cringe when Americans say shit like “torrrrrdltieeya” instead of pronouncing tortilla in a reasonable way. Shit like “ensheelatas” instead of enchiladas and “ndacos” instead of tacos, too.

>>12288839

America is a country of immigrants so it makes sense that people kept pronouncing things the way that their parents used to when they were in the "old country". Americans cringe when we hear Mexican/Texmex food pronounced phonetically because it means you didn't grow up or live near anywhere with actual Mexican people who said the names of things correctly and are probably a flyover.

So fucking this. It isn't American "stupidity" or "pretentiousness", it's because we lived among and have family who came from foreign countries and grew up pronouncing things the right way. Even though he was born here, my dad spoke German from infancy on, and he didn't learn english till he went to school. I grew up listening to my family speak German, and my friends speak Spanish because I grew up in Texas, so yeah, I pronounce hispanic foods properly and german foods/words properly because that's how I learned to speak them. So, when faced with other foreign words like "gyro", I learn how to pronounce them correctly because that's the right thing to do. And people who say "jairo" can go fuck themselves.

I don't know where you get the idea that foreigners watch every small, local news stations in the US. If you guys do, then that's very creepy and we don't know about it. The local news reporter has nobody to impress and hasn't thought about whatever shitty europoor country with a low GDP that you're from in years.

>>12296877

>>12288784

>>12297025
Read the posts again. "News reporters are the biggest offenders." Whoever made that reply seems to think that local news reporters are trying to impress Europeans. If you're American and think Euros watch our local news then you're retarded. If you're European and actually obsessively watch our local news then you're creepy and mentally ill.

>>12297025
If YOU specifically try to impress foreigners who aren't even around to listen to your pronounciation, then speak for yourself. I only ever think of Europe when they are victims of terrorists attacks or when they are obsessing over America online. I really doubt that you're American if you actually obsessively think about what a European would think of your pronounciation, you have to be LARPing.

A Greek guy who was my Uber driver once in Seattle said he was making a Mediterranean food truck with his brother. He told me it was pronounced "guy-ro"

>>12288859
What a fucking beta.

>>12297104
Do you think Europe is a country?

>>12297124
Nowhere is it stated or implied that Europe is a country. You're grasping at straws and failing miserably. You can't even strawman. Seriously, kill yourself you failed excuse of a human being. There's no way your IQ is over 85.

>>12297089
I still don't understand the comment. I made zero mention of news reporters, let alone local news. Are you schizophrenic? Also American news reporters (national and local news) don't really try too hard with foreign pronunciations. The biggest offenders are hipsters and youtubers that try to appear "cultured."

>>12297104
All I was trying to say is that Americans are victims of unfair stereotyping, and foreigners are retarded for starting the "stupid American" stereotype. Also I am an immigrant in America (lived here for 20+ years), so I am aware of both sides.

>>12297124

Thanks for making it clear now. At least post the post number of the original post when you comment because I had no idea where the "news reporter" comment came from, and I thought you were accusing me of posting that.

You replied to the wrong person. I believe that local news reporters try their least when pronouncing foreign words (basically opposite of what that guy believes). I was confused by your posts because you were constantly telling me that I believe in something I don't.

>Also I continue to doubt that you're American.
you want me to post my SSN, you spastic?

>>12297207
for example look at your first reply to my comment here >>12296877

You give zero mention of the comment I replied to and just make a sudden statement about local news reporters (which I made zero mention of previously).

>>12289570
it's an american phenomena but it has less to do with your retarded justification for it and much more to do with the fact that americans come from everywhere. You're gonna bump into people who pronounce it "right" in america because they speak the fucking language it comes from, and those people will call you retarded for pronouncing it wrong.

if you're somewhere where everyone's just as in the dark as you when it comes to how to pronounce some shit, nobody gives a fuck. If you call a jalapeno a djalupeeno you're probably standing within six yards of 6 people who think you're dumb for doing so and at least one of them will be obnoxious enough to correct you.
