    Exactly what the title says.
    I was browsing the forum, when the idea to post this stupid little fun thread came to me.

    I once heard someone pronounce it "T-I-Y", but I always pronounced it like the name "Ty".

    I haven't seen anything like it here. And I know nothing about the goings-on over there. So, this is completely unrelated. ...Yay?

    I suspect that he is russian, therefore, [Tee-yu-ri]
    Tiy is for americans/brits/eros, Tiyuri is russian... i saw him answering twitter questions in slovatic.

    Using this, I would pronounce it as /tiːː ː/ or the same as the letter "T".
    EDIT: I take way too long to type.

  13. I am russian and I slightly doubt. Well Tiy speaks Russian very good but I'm almost sure he's not native Russian (there is a signs... You know :badger:)

    OT: IDK what is right transcription but I'm always wantin to read this as "T-I-U" somehow. Maybe cause in Russian letter "y" looks like "u". Er. Hope you understand me.X3

    I'm not really sure, as I've never seen the word before.
    I guess just as tee-eye-why.

    I say "Tie" as in "TIE fighter".

    I was told that I pronounced it wrong. I've known him for a bit of a while now and I didn't care and still call him "TIE" to this day.

    In short: NOBODY KNOWS!
    I doubt Tiy himself knows. :lolwut:

    I've always thought it was exactly like tie. Hey GeorgeV, does he wear a tie? That may shed some light on the mystery.

    I'm also fluent in Russian, but.. he doesn't seem to be genuinely talking. Mr. Gergel Ternslet.
