ok, so I feel real stupid. how exactly do you pronounce YAOI?? ╮(￣▽￣)╭

Ya - YAmato
O - WO
I - Elite

Like in japanese romanji ^^
I used to say "ya-oy" tho xD

Yah-oh-e

Yaowhee

The proper Japanese way to pronounce it is "yah-oi"

Ya - "ya" like the "yeah" "yaaaa" emphasize the a

Oi - "whee" or like "oi"
