Answer:
I lived in Greece for three years. In the US we say "J-eye-ro", like "I row" with a hard g. But in Greece it is pronounced "Yeero" like "year-oh". Hope that helps.
Gear - ro
It sounds like Euro.
ji-row
year-o
hero but with a y Year-o
I've always heard it like year-oh. If you go to www.m-w.com (the Merriam Webster site) and type in "gyro," it will bring up a definition window and you can select "hear it" and the computer will play it for you. It's a great way to hear how words sound if you're not sure. You may have to find the right definition if it brings up a list of options. Sometimes, a word means more than one thing.
Gee row.
guy-ro, like this sounds.
Most of these suggestions are on the mark, but at least on the east and west coast of USA if you say anything other than jie-row they'll just look at you like you're the dumb one.
Giiro.G as in "go".
The Greek guys at the gyro place on the South Side of Pittsburgh pronounce it like "hero".
yeeeeeeeroooooo

not

Gyyyyyyyyroooooo
year

Oh

Put them both together......
In English it is ge-rous. In German it is gur-os. just in case you were wondering. =)
Like hero.
YEAR-oh
gee- row

( not the sound of the letter G)
I'm Greek; it is, in fact, the "Year-O" that you have gotten on several occasions; The "Y" has a slight "roll" to it similar to the Spanish "R's"
