How do you say SUSE?

Nginx. I pronounced it N-Jinx.

I never in a million years would have guessed it was “Engine X”.

Funny except the video's pronunciation is wrong since it is a German name for a company founded in Germany.

so, to summarize:

• German: /suse/ or /zuze/
• English: should be /suse/ but more often /susa/ but definitely not /sus/

funny, but wrong. The e is pronounced like first e in Mesmerized.

Edit: Spelling

Like 'Susie', which according to the rest of this thread, puts me in the minority

Back in the days when it was first released, I'm sure I read that it should be pronounced "Susie". That's the way I've always said it.

Like "X", who would have thought it was pronounced "Twitter"?

sussy

What is with Linux projects and confusingly pronounceable names? Even the name “Linux” itself has a fair bit of spoken variation.

Then there’s Ubuntu, and GNOME with the hard G to name a few.

That dude is totally wrong. SUSE is a german company.

By accident, here is a video about bavaria and SUSE

I HATE this video irrationally

Kaiser Suse

Sue's-uh

Don't get me started. For years people corrected me when I said LEE-nooks instead of Lennox. I finally gave up.

Do CentOS next

The Linux Cast says soo-suh, so that's what I'm going to say

You pronounce it any way other than the way the person saying it does.

This results in a few possible outcomes.

The person may get an opportunity to go on at length about why their pronunciation is used, and be entertaining.

The person may get all het up about it, insisting that you're wrong, and you can further mess with them by shrugging and continuing to use whatever you were using.

The person doesn't care, and y'all have a nice conversation about distros and Linux in general.

The person switches to your pronunciation, and you now have a stalker.

I have a rule about acronyms: if the spelling makes sense to be said as a word, I follow the English grammatical rules. A word that's spelled s-u-s-e would be pronounced "soos", so that's what I say.

This is why I don't pronounce GNU as "ga-noo", it doesn't make sense as a word. In those cases, I just spell them out.

Lots of badlinguistics in this thread.

I always thought those whoe said susa instead of soos are wrong.

So, how do you pronounce Porsche?

It's German, so it's susa

Seriously though, unpopular opinion disclaimer, I think I may be only one that didn't find it funny at all, just an informative, overly long, cringey Tenacious D reinterpretation ?

I don't care. It's Soos. It's Ace-SUS, not Ah-soos. It's I-Key-Ah, not E-Kay-Ah. These are the way everyone around me says these things for as long as I can remember.
