Mr. and Mrs. Jarvis live next door. Together, they are the Jarvises. Like Jarvis, Yaris is a name, so you have two Yarises. |

My wife and I say Yarii for plural, Yaris for singular.
We also say Matrices when we're talking about more than one Toyota Matrix. Quote:
Sing - Plural criterion - criteria sheep - sheep brother - brethern (old) tooth - teeth forum - fora Besides, Yaris is a made-up word, which means nobody can be wrong. Wikipedia suggest that it was from from "ja"(German for yes) and "Charis"(a Greek god) |

Yes, earljail, you are absolutely correct; Yaris isn't even a real word. However, Yaris is a name. And the rule for pluralizing all names that end in "s" is to simply ad "es". |
