You've got the pronunciation right, but most restaurant workers get asked for JI-ROS...It's not you, it's them.

I have never seen it spelt like that in Australia. We see "yeero" on shops.

i think you are pronouncing it right, but most employees arent greek so they might not know what you are talking about

I grew up in the Philly and it was "yee-roh"... but it seems like even people northeast have started calling them "jeye-roh"... It's not a machine part!

I live in Tampa, which is close to a HUGE Greek community called Tarpon Springs. Big tourist trap, the sponge-docks are and all... GREAT baklava. They spell it Gyro, and pronounce it "EE-row," and say it very quickly, Kinda like "hero" without the "h" "YEE-row" is accpetable to them, though.

I was taught it's pronounced "hee row" and you roll your "r" a little bit. But I bet restaurant employees are used to weird pronunciations and people who just point at what they want on the menu. I used to work in an italian restaurant and most of the employees couldn't pronounce or spell a large portion of the menu.

Depends where you are using it if you mean the Greek Gyros it is in Greece pronounced' Geeross' or Gy- ross the G sounding like a soft G like in Geese

I have always known it as gee-ross - that's how it was first pronounced to me in Crete by a Greek man.

Like gyroscope without the scope. I guess it's probably incorrect, but I don't mind.
-
It's spelt and pronounced as "yeero" where I'm from.
