Euro or Euros?

In our Sanish language classes, run by the Pego ayuntamento with a properly qualified teacher, we are taught to say 'euros'.

Note, however, the correct pronunciation is to say the "A" sound at the start of the word, which is not natural for Brits! We say 'U-ros' but the Spanish way is 'A-uros'.

Got it?

Hmmmmmmm..... us Irish wrong?😉 never!

actual plural of ‘euro’ is ‘euri’ according to Wikipedia .....

how many folk do you ever hear using that ? .... But as you state, here in Ireland the terminology is indeed ‘euro’, there s no tendency to use the perceived plural of ‘euros’....... although in Northern Ireland its commonplace... as in “I must get some euros before I travel to the ‘free state’ !”

 Bennisnowbird , you’ve made me laugh.  So true!

One thing I will say, you will rarely hear a person from the Rep. of Ireland use incorrect grammar unlike so many others. The word You is singular and nowadays people constantly make it plural ie YOUS.   There is no need to add the letter S as YOU can be addressed as singular  or plural eg all of YOU. 

I prefer to use Euro in both singular and plural. It is however acceptable either way.

Most interesting! I would happily accept 10 million euro or 10 million euros!  Either way, I won’t complain. 

We had this conversation in Ireland when we moved to the Euro. In the early days we added the “s”, but then somewhere along the way we were officially  “corrected” and everyone started dropping the s. Now nearly everyone toes the line, and “Euros” sounds odd to us. I think it made us feel a bit more European at the time! 

It’s pretty much the same with £‘stoo....

eg - beer is 3 pound a pint, or is it 3 pounds...??

My shoes cost 10 pound, but then we can have house is up for sale at 100,000 pounds - not pound....

Either or I reckon, no right or wrong..😲😲

Very simple. Depends on accents. Here in Spain, more easy. The "euro" has three out of four vowels. In spain, the vowels are: A E I O U. I would imagine, ( including here) all have accents. Pronounced as you will. My opinion.(only) Post may be deleted. V

Those of us who have taken Spanish classes since moving here will know the correct Spanish pronunciation, at least I imagine they would if it came up in class.

My opinion is that in English language the plural has an 's' so for me it's EUROS 

Loving all the replies...cheers, Steve
