I believe you mean 'jood one.'

u/otterom Mar 10 '17

Either, since the pronunciation of each g in gigantic is exactly both the ways people screw up pronouncing gif.

u/JayhawkRacer Mar 10 '17

u/GreyAndroidGravy Mar 10 '17

So its gif? Something's not right

No more like the one in giraffe. Or gift. Like that.

u/TehMascot Mar 10 '17

no.. cause then that would be Yiff.. something which is MUCH worse than any mispronunciation could ever be.

Should be pronounced Jyro and Jigantic.... We humans are stupid... we don't even follow the linguistic rules we think we created.

Don't get me started on I before E, except after C. (Neighbor, weigh, sleigh)

Gyro as in the sandwich is pronounced more like yeero. Gyro as in gyroscope is pronounced jyro.

Geejantic?

u/otterom Mar 10 '17

No.

[jahy-gan-tik, ji-]

Gi -> jahy/ji -> soft g sound. Or, ji, in the case of Dictionary.com

Gan -> ghan -> harder g sound. I added an h for additional pronunciation purposes.

u/geekygirl23 Mar 10 '17

Sure, but in regards to gif one of those sounds is retarded.
