Common Mispronunciations of Toyota
Not TOY-oh-tuh
The English word toy is hiding in the spelling but not in the sound. The first syllable is a clean toh, and it is unstressed.
Not toh-YOH-tah
The last vowel softens to a weak uh in English. Holding it as a full ah sounds like a careful reading rather than speech.
Tip: Three syllables with the middle one loudest: toh-YOH-tuh. The Japanese original spreads the beats evenly and keeps all three o vowels pure.
