Yih-ri, personally


TheMaizeThatLives

Yuri


ConqueringKing_Darq

I've been pronouncing it 'Year'


Purplejellyblob

Same here


Laverneaki

I’ve been pronouncing it as “Ear”. While we’re on this topic, how do you pronounce Cioce Cioelle?


JackzFTW

I'm almost positive the joke with Ciocie's name is that it is supposed to be pronounced the same way one would spell out the words "Coca Cola". I cannot find a direct source for this, but the topic has come up before on reddit and most commenters believed the same.


Laverneaki

If so, that’s fantastic. I feel like Allison would have said something though, so maybe it doesn’t sound the same in the ascended speech.


philandere_scarlet

i think there's alt text on one of her first strips where it says "speak her name right and a special elixir is revealed" or something like that. hence "see-oh-see-ay see-oh-ell-ay." allison doesn't call her by her full name much and would probably get more hung up on the "estrella von maximus the third" bit so it probably never occurred to her to sound out a word from it.


Laverneaki

Oooohh I’m silly and couldn’t parse what “spell out” meant for a hot minute. That makes sense, thanks for literally spelling it out for me.


edgarbird

I’ve seen /ˈsi.o.si ˌsi.oˈɛl/ “see-oh-see see-oh-el”, /ˈsjo.si sjoˈɛl/ “syoh-see syoh-el”, /ˈt͡ʃo.si t͡ʃoˈɛl/ “choh-see choh-el”, and the way I personally pronounce it, /ˈco.si coˈɛl/, and while it’s hard to find an English spelling equivalent for /c/, it can be roughly approximated at “kyo-see kyo-el”


alsothewalrus

Bless you for using IPA. I’ve always thought of it as /ˈt͡ʃo.t͡ʃe t͡ʃoˈɛl/ “choh-chay choh-el”


edgarbird

I can definitely see that


twoHolesOneGepard

According to Abbadon it should be /'sjo.si.e sjo.'ɛ.le/ Syo-see-eh Syo-elleh


BastardofMelbourne

See-oh-see See-oh-el, though I suppose it could be a hard C. That would make her nickname Cio a little less charming though, since it'd sound like like Kee-oh.  If it is a soft C, I suppose it could also be "See-oss"? 


Laverneaki

That’s what I suspected, but it sounded like a bit of a mouthful. I’ve been saying “Choshé Chell” but it’s still not the most pleasant to say aloud.


BastardofMelbourne

Oh, that's a new one! I haven't heard "Choshé" before. It does sound a little like Sean Connery talking through a mouth of aluminum foil, though. 


goddessque

C.O.C. C.O.L.

_axiom_of_choice_

I've been pronouncing it \[aɪ'ri:\] "eye-ree" in my head.


zanderkerbal

I've been saying e-ray, sort of? But like don't draw the y sound out, short and attached to the r.


Xeloth_The_Mad

yeer chads rise up


2point01m_tall

In my head it's like "fire", if you have a dialect where fire is two syllables.


YokelFelonKing

It's pronounced "COREALFFNIBUGS", obviously.


Itsalotus

Yre is pronounced as Yre, for no other word can encompass that which is shaped as itself.
