How to pronounce Skyr correctly
- The word “skyr” comes from Icelandic and is pronounced similar to “skier”. The “r” at the end of the word is particularly emphasized.
- The phonetic spelling of the term looks like this: “Skiːɐ̯”. So the ending sounds similar to “beer” or “here”, the “i” is short.
- It would be wrong to pronounce skyr like the word heaven in English, “Sky”.
The Origin of Skyr
Skyr is from Iceland. According to legend, the Vikings brought the product, which is reminiscent of low-fat quark, to the island in the Atlantic 1000 years ago.
