I say “soy-yer,” but in my neck of the woods most people say “saw-yer.”

It’s “SOY” not “SAW” like [name_m]Tom[/name_m] [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u].

I say soy-er. You might get the “saw” pronunciation in the southern part of the US, where they are more likely to say law-yer than loy-er.

featherb · February 25, 2014, 8:58am

soy-yer here too.

potofgold · February 25, 2014, 10:19am

Soy-yer
Saw-yer made me laugh, it sounds like you’re saying ‘saw you!’

Pretty sure it depends on your accent/where you’re from, but I say SOY-yer.

I say soy-yer, but being from the Southern US, everyone here says saw-yer
