How do you pronounce Gyroid?

[X2k5a7y]

I use both, actually. I didn't realize that I did, until now.

 

[ellabella12345]

guy-roid is how i say it..

 

[Naiad]

Lloid

On a side note, Lloid collects donations for the town, but he's also on the island 24/7. Lloid has mad teleportation skills.

Oh, I thought there were going to be different options. I've never heard anyone say it with a hard g. I use a soft g, but I pronounce it like JEER-oid. Not sure if that's correct, but that's how I've always been inclined to pronounce it.

 

[AmyLilu]

I usually say it jai-roid too

 

[Crystiesc]

Jai-roid.
"when followed by, e I or y, g may say /j/."
Mostly, it does say /j/ when followed by those vowels. gym, gyrate, gem, giraffe, etc.
So that rule also makes sense in this instance.

(I'm a kindergarten teacher, so I teach phonics rules.)

I usually hear it pronounced jai-roid, but I've always been inclined to call them guy-roids.

Soft g sound myself. ^_^

 

[LexiOfFurby]

Ji-roid

 

[hoodathotit]

Soft, as in hemo-

 

[Bcat]

I pronounce with a soft g like gyrate.

 

[BrinaLouWho]

I say it with a Soft g and so does my boyfriend

 

[Loriii]

Hard G. "Jai" is probably the correct way of pronouncing it but "guy-roid" sounds better to me.

 

[al-tirah]

soft g

 

[Hopeless Opus]

i say it like gi-roid
(ji roid)

 

[MightyMunchlax]

I say both interchangeably if that makes sense? Like sometimes I'll pronounce it "Guy-roid" and other times "Jai-roid" There really is no rhyme or reason for me just whichever one pops into my head at the time when I see it.

 

[Mayor-of-Bliss]

Jai-roid as many have said

 

[watercolorwish]

the first time i saw it i knew it was pronounced with a soft g. with a hard g it just sounds like some energy drink.

 

[LeinenShandy]

I had never heard the hard g pronunciation.... interesting
