  • Do you pronounce this "HAIR-ust", "huh-RAST" or "HAIR-assed"?

  • None of the below. 'hærəst, with the vowel of hat, not hair.

    March 21, 2011

  • The second one you list, but with the first vowel as in "hat".

  • I'd roll that double r.

    March 21, 2011

  • For me, it's "huh-RAST". The first vowel is a schwa, and it's not even close to the vowel in "hat".
