how do you pronounce ASUS?

i've always wondered how others pronounce ASUS.

i say, A-SUS (Je sus; lol)

i think i've seen a video by ASUS where the narrator said it like A-SEUS, (Zeus, Dr. Seuss)

 

It is UH-SOOS.

 

Aces or that's how i pronounce it

 

same, the other way sounds bad imo

Ah-zeus is how it's officially pronounced, but I just call it eh-suhs

 

haha, ah-zeus how funny. I don't think asus should make anymore commercials that says their brand name!

I've always pronounced it (AY-SUS)

 

ive always said it "ace-us", im so used to saying acer that when i see asus the ace comes naturally

 

ah-zeus i would have never guessed and it's said in a zeus like voice :laugh:

 

I pronounce it ah-soos, most people I know pronounce it ay-ses but it sounds too much like Acer for my liking so I'll stick with my pronunciation

 

Interesting to see how other say it.. a simple ah-soos is my way as many on here have already stated.

 

I say ABIT, cause they make better motherboards

It shows how much asus backs their products, especially cause the main attraction was the girl and not the actual device

K-TRON

 

SUS.

 

I say "ace-us." I know it's "ah-soos" but it sounds better the other way. Also, I heard that the name ASUS is derived from Pegasus. I don't know about you all, but I've never said "Pega-soos"....

 

awsoos

I heard it in an video where an ASUS representative discussed their products.

 

Oh my, this topic is back.... "giggles"

Ah- seuss is how the company pronounces it's corparate name, and should be properly used. Comes from Asian pronunciation of their name origins - Pegasus.

English and American people, however, tend to turn the spelling into variations on Ay-seuss or Ay-sus.

 

Same here lol

The youtube video link says it good.

 

I always thought ah-soo-ss

 

No, it's not.

What language or alphabet would give you that pronunciation?

In American, we tend to pronounce the "A" at the beginning as either
"ah" or long "a", like "apple"- , or "Ace" - long "a".

In most European pronunciations the "A" would be the short a or "ah", like in the word "armoire". The "sus" would NOT be sounded with a "z" on the first "s", it would be a standard "ss" sound.

The "u" would be pronounced "oo", like in the word "too" or German "uber".
And, the final "s" would be, again, an "ss" sound.
So, it would be "ah soos", like Dr. Seuss.
In more American soundage, it's long "a" "suhs", like the "sus" in the word "suspend", or simila, close, to the word "aces".

"Zeus" has a "z" sound, and that's why it's written with "z" at the beginning. It's not "AZUS". It's "ASUS".

Nothing wrong with American, until we start pronouncing "foreign" words using our American vowel sound mess.

Oh, and you English who think Americans are wrong for pronouncing "jaguar" as "jag wahr", at least we put the "r" sound at the end of the word as there is an "r", unlike you English with "jag U ah" with an odd trailing sound. Oh, and when did the word "banana" develop an "r" sound at the end?
"You English, you think you're soooo superior."

 

yeah ! also confirmed through their customer support that it was derived from "pegasus ", so it should be aaaaahhhhh---sooos.

 

Even though it's the official pronunciation, I never liked "ah-seuss" and have always called it "ay-sus"

 

I call it "'a-sus" or "Ay-sus", the first because of my nothern English accent.
The "official" pronunciation just sounds, quite frankly, Dumb. It makes me cringe with embarrassment when somebody says it like that!

 

Just sneeze. It's about the same sound

 

You do know ABIT is gonna be shutting down on december 31st right?

They USED to make great motherboards, past couple of years their products haven't been that good.

 

you guys may be shocked to hear this but it actually pronounced Aseus

like Dr Seuss so its A Seuss

 

Hmmm, covered that on page 2 .

 

No, I'm not shocked. I think a-seuss was established as the official pronunciation a page ago.

 

Frankly A-sus sounds better as Ah-soos sounds cheap!!!

 

Haha!!! That's how I pronounce it! Minus the germs! LOL!!!

 

I've always known it was Ah-soos. But I seriously think it should be Eh-S(schwa)S.

And yes, it is much easier to get it if you're huked on...Yoo-ro-pee-in...fonicks.

All the Romance languages pronounce A as "ah." German does as well, but I don't want to generalize there because I heard Finnish pronounces it as "eh."

The S sound is purely Romantic, as the single German S sounds like a Z.

U is all across Romance and German...except for French. French U's sound like puckered "ee."

The last S is Romantic.

Although I don't know how relevant this is because ASUS is based in Taiwan.

 

asOOs

at least thats how customer service pronounces it.

i nearly have them on speed dial

 

clearskies....you did? Where??

Plasma....sigh...........where did anyone say anything about dr seuss? like i said its A Seuss at least thats how its pronounced in every single promo/commercial they have.
