Norwegian Jaerhon

[Amyable]

I now use the new-and-improved shortened version 'Jaers' myself, but I think 'YARE-hahn' is about right.

I wanted to call them JaerHORNS when I first found out about them! I first learned about them by talking to a lady in south Louisiana who had some and it was during the time when the heat index was 116 and she said her ladies were still laying in the heat but only slowed down a lil

WOW... And she said her husband would call them "JaerHORNS" too LOL...

I'm not sure how it sounds when norwegians say it but I talked to a guy from norway who said "Jaers" and it sounded just like you would promounce it in normal english. He said "hon" just means hen. So you can say "Jaers" now if you like

Jaers = Jay-ers ? Or, "Yars"?

Sounds like (Jay-ers)

Yay ers,

in Norwegian the J has a Y sound. Hahn would be the ending for the hens.

 

[Amyable]

Ok, so is it two syllables or one? YA-ers OR Yares?

 

[Jake Levi]

One, two if adding the hahn.

 

[Jake Levi]

Any other input on this ?

Happy Thanksgiving All !

So it's sorta rhyming with "bare" except with Yaer. I had a translator app and that's how they pronounced it as well.

 

[Jake Levi]

Exactly.

Its similar in Icelandic too.
