Now do JIRA. (none of my colleagues pronounce it correctly)
- eXpl0it3r 3y agoAs a start the product name is written as "Jira"
- TacticalCoder 3y agoI've always heard "jee rah" and it's very close to the way french coworkers used to pronounce it in french too. If I'm not mistaken Atlassian Jira promotional vids and tutorials do say "jee rah" too. And FWIW, not a very reliable source but ChatGPT says it's that too if you ask it. Are people saying "jie ray"?
- 0xDEFACED 3y agoI had never considered that there might be other ways to pronounce it. I’m gonna start saying it “zhee-rá” now
- bee_rider 3y agoApparently it is based on Japanese characters, so I guess you have to go to that language to get the correct pronunciation. I dunno, though, it would be more fun to pronounce it like “He-ra”
- igorguerrero 3y agoJira (/ˈdʒiːrə/ JEE-rə) says wikipedia, I had it right :)
- bitwize 3y agoJira's name comes from the Japanese name of Godzilla (ゴジラ, Gojira). Reason why is because it was intended to be a "Bugzilla killer". I have never heard anyone pronounce Jira incorrectly, always like "Jeera".
- boopmaster 3y agoas a truncation of Gojira (go jee rah), i assume it is "jee rah" as others have stated here.
