(/ɪ/|/t/)+(/ɪ/|/juː/)+(/ɛ/|/ɨ/)+(/s/|/z/)+(/t/|/d/)+(/eɪ/|/æ/)+(/aɪ/|???) ...what's the alternate (anglophone) pronunciation for the 'y' in "gyro"? 141.101.98.81 19:03, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

...oh, ok, now there's an explanation on this. Not convinced by the alternate 'y' at all. And I pronounce "putting" exactly like "putting", as well. Consider me additionally confused. 172.70.90.90 19:22, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

gyro as in the sandwich (pronounced like Euro), or gyro as in short for gyroscope.

Never even heard of a "gyro" sandwich. (And "Euro" can be YOU-ro, OY-ro, ERR-oh, etc, depending on which country you're(-oh) in.) Clearly something very Leftpondian, this comic. 172.70.90.90 21:51, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

Oh man! Come on, we're going to the grocery store. You're one of today's lucky 10,000.- 172.70.131.172 22:43, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

It's a Greek dish similar to a shawarma. It's pronounced YEE-ro, I believe. (Which is kind of similar to that first pronunciation of "Euro", so that's probably what they were going for.) 172.70.43.118 22:04, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

Putting/putting - think southern England if you want to appreciate the difference. The golfing sense is somewhere between "patting" and "potting"; the placing sense more like...well, like "putting". "Pooting," I suppose, with a "book" type "oo".Yorkshire Pudding (talk) 22:46, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

In Finland that's not far away. By startuing with T and removing æ you are almost correct. Tuesday in Finnish /Ti:stai/
