How do you pronounce Ryobi? I always pronounced it Rie oe bee. I heard a commercial the other day and they pronounced it Ree oe bee. Which is correct and how do you say it?

I don’t have a clue what is the correct pronunciation, but I say it Rie oh bee.

I don’t say that name… OK just joking. But not much help, thought it was was how both rye and ri would sound.
Rye O bee is how I pronounce it, though i wonder if it is regional in the way we choose to pronounce it.
I would go with Rye-o-b, it may be the same as Rons, just a little different annotation.
Same here

— Glenn BottingHow do you pronounce Ryobi?
It is a Japanese word that has been americanized. In Japan it’s Yobee, there is NO R sound in their language. If you said it in a tool shop full of Ryobi stuff the way we say it here they wouldn’t know what you’re talking about. The same goes for the car Mazda.
I found this on Yahoojp. look at the top video and at 29 mark you hear the correct way to say Ryobi.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC27-e8E0oVBcQubvnpSYvyQOh in this one they say it 4 or 5 times.
Here’s a little Japanese honey saying it a bunch of times.
For those of you with the Makita 18volt vac?????
Looks the same ?????How do you pronounce Ryobi?

Actually there is a “r” sound in Japanese.
My Japanese friend says it’s pronounced like Rohbee
Did you watch the videos??? Did you hear how they say it?? There is no R sound in Japanese! It’s a sound they have to learn when they get here.
I see you posted up Katakana a system of writing for American sounds, it is not Kanji the language that comes from Chinese. Where in Japan is you friend from?Oh oh! Trouble in the hen house!
What I want explained myself, is why can’t they pronounce their “R” other than it doesn’t exist in their language per se.
That’s never gelled in my head that they can’t do it otherwise just simply based on their vocabulary not having it.
It’s like God has removed part of their vocal cords, but I know that’s not really true, so what else is it in fact.
Dirty, Thank you for the videos. So it’s Yobi.
That might be how they say it, But I don’t buy it. lol
Just listen to this example. lmaoRon

I like my Ryobi Tools no matter how you say it. I’m saving up for the better Bosch tools though.
As I always say… you get what you pay for.@RonW thanks got coffee all over me lol
