I don't know how you pronounce it either
But, If you don't know how to pronounce it, then imagine having to answer that question x1000, do you still like it?

Hard to explain as I can't think of any English words that rhyme with the first part but it is sort of Ay-r (as in hay) liss . The 'r' is rolled. Some will tell you it is Eye-rliss or Air-liss but they're wrong Grin.

In n wales (where I'm from) its Air-Liss (with the r rolled)

Although melon is right about the pronunciation of the 'air' part - hard to describe!
