Is it HEER-A or HAIR-A or something else?

GetOrfMoiiLand · 09/02/2012 16:50

HAIR-a

Stellan · 09/02/2012 17:47

Not sure but I'd instinctively pronounce it like Hero with an A.

WowOoo · 09/02/2012 17:48

ChangedNom · 09/02/2012 20:41

Hera in ENglish, Haira if you're putting on the modern version of a 'classical' Greek pronunciation (i.e. are a wanker).

GetOrfMoiiLand · 10/02/2012 09:09

HAIR-a

(come on mathanxiety, it's just you and me who are wankers saying it correctly Wink)

PopcornBiscuit · 10/02/2012 09:55

Here-a

pixiestix · 10/02/2012 14:43

I would say Here-a, but my mate has a dog called Hair-a.

GetOrfMoiiLand · 10/02/2012 14:43

HAIR-a

Everything else is wrong. I am Greek.

HTH

GetOrfMoiiLand · 10/02/2012 14:44

I lied about being Greek but i am still right

peeriebear · 10/02/2012 14:53

Here-a :)

alexpolismum · 10/02/2012 15:11

Definitely Heera.

In modern Greek it's Eeera. [sticks tongue out at GetOrf]

Yama · 10/02/2012 15:13

Hair-a sounds better in my opinion. Only because I am a wanky Battlestar Gallactica fan though. Wink

GetOrfMoiiLand · 10/02/2012 15:13

Oh shit, an person who actually lives in Greece and knows.

GetOrfMoiiLand · 10/02/2012 15:14

an person?

I can't even speak Englush, let alone Greek.

GetOrfMoiiLand · 10/02/2012 15:14

Oh for fucks skae Grin
