Could anyone tell me how to pronounce "Cyril"? Which syllable should I put stress on?
I am not a native English speaker and studying English. If you find any mistakes with my writing, please let me know. Thank you.
Answers:
The first syllable. Say it like SQUIRREL without the "QU"
the Y
Say "cereal" (like breakfast) without the second "e".
.
The first syllable is stressed.
Your English seems better than most of the English people here so I'd say your doing really well.
As for your question I'm too thick to give you an accurate answer, sorry!!
sirrel. Like squirell without the q. I think. stress the c which sounds like and s.
First: SEERill.
This is how you pronounce Cyril Si-Ril
You also put the stress syllable on the C and the R
same way that you would say squirrel without the qu!
try saying surrel and you wont be be far off
Cyril...pronounced. in Australia ).
Si.ril.
The CY are pronounced as SI in sit and the IL are pronounced as ill. There should be no stress on any particular syllable.
Why Cyril, nobody is called that anymore. Most Cyrils I knew are dead.
Cyril (Sear-ill_ you should Emphasize the 1st syllable. The C is soft and the yr sounds like the word ear and the il like the word ill.
I hear it pronounced as, "SEER il" in the movies, with the 1st syllable accented and the "y" pronounced like a long "e". That is an uncommon name nowadays, so you don't hear it much.
cyr • il
The stress is on the CYR, and would be pronounced as SIR-uhl

As for correcting your English grammar:
"I am not a native English speaker and studying English."
Rewrite as: I am a non-native English speaker and am studying English.
In your first sentence, you need to add the verb "am" before the adjective phrase "studying English." (In this instance, the word "studying" is an adjective, since it is describing your state of being.)
A grammatical note: When the word "and" joins two declarative statements, you should keep the sentence structure balanced on both sides of the conjunction "and."
For example, you have two declarative statements in your sentence:
1) I am a non-native English speaker
2) I am studying English.
Using "and" to conjoin the two statements you would rewrite the phrase as:
I am a non-native English speaker and I am studying English.
~or~
I am a non-native English speaker and am studying English.
Or, you can rewrite the sentence as:
I am non-native English speaker who is studying English. (I prefer this over the other options.)
"sih-rill" emphazise 1st syllable
Well done to the people who suggested saying squirrel without the cwu sound- that explains it perfectly. As mentioned, the stress is on the initial s sound.
If it's the name, the stress is on the first syllable.
If you mean Cyrillic ( the Russian alphabet) then the stress is on the middle syllable.
