    I guess the club is pronounced awr-us? Can't tell from the video. I thought it was heiress. I hope I'm wrong, because then Freddy's gone from Anus to Arse. And the thread title pun would be only visual. Sorry Aris supporters for that joke. Your club seems awesome.

    I think the "i" is pronounced like a spanish "i", and the A sounds a bit spanish too. So would it be right to pronounce it like a spanish word?

    "Ar" as in car, and "is" as in bees knees? I wonder which syllable gets the stress.

    It is pronounced exactly the way it is written. A is pronounced as an A, R is prounounced as an R, I is prounounced as an I, and S as an S.

    Words example. Arm, robe, bit, sold.

    Hope that helped. :p

    "Ar" gets the stress.

    !!
    Exactly as it is written results, for an American at least, in:

    AIR-iss.

    Let me try:

    AHR-iss

    Does that help the Yanks?

    See, we pronounce (P)aris completely differently than you pronounce Aris. Our A is the A in blame. I guess it does sound more like "Arse."

    "From Anus to Arse" would be a classic title if it weren't so objectionable at several levels.

    You pronounce it the same way. Aris sounds like Paris without the P.

    haha, great, I get it now; you understand English is one of those messed up languages where it borrowed (french) so many words from different languages that it's basically impossible to get the pronunciations right unless you grow up with it.

    Take a simple word like bare and you can spell it 5 different ways but all pronounced the same. I'm glad I didn't have to learn english as a foreigner!

    LOL :confused::confused:

    This is hysterical and confusing.

    Paris with no P and Yaris with no Y do not sound the same! This is some kind of sick joke!

    What?? Haha it can't be. I mean just say P-aris and Y-aris. It's simple couldn't be simplier than this. I know Greek language is difficult, but that's just Aris, four letters, two syllables.

    This isn't right for the i (iota). Iota is a long e, as in city. 'Aris' doesn't rhyme with 'Paris' as we say it in English. It rhymes with 'armies' (unless there's something odd about Salonikan pronunciation).

    LOL.

    Paris = Something like Pair-iss
    YAris = Something like Yahr-iss

    So it's Arh-iss or Air-iss.

    Not I know it's Air-iss.

    Just don't mention the Yahr-iss!
