oh-sue

I've heard the "ous" pronunciation enough that the way I pronounce it sounds weird by now, but the "ous" pronunciation sounds even weirder.

I used to think that it is pronounced as oh-sue, until I found out that it is actually pronounced oss.

Lol, I always thought it was pronounced oh-sue, and then when I saw live tournaments, ztrot's academy thing, and other people's livestreams . . .

they all most likely say ohss .

It's "oss!"

This word comes from a Japanese word "押忍!"
"oh-sue" is how foreigner pronounce it by using their common sense of reading, which is not wrong by the way.

I know it's pronounced "oss" but it sounds wieird and wrong (and too short)

so I still say "oh soo", way better

This is a trailer for the game that osu! is based off of. And it's pronounced just like it is in the trailer.

That trailer looks so serious.

My friend recommended me this game. He read it as "oh-su", so I just went with it.

oh wow, I thought the name was 押す... since you know, you push circles.
Although I dont think I can stop saying 'oh su'

I've always pronounced it "oss". However I still know many people pronoucing it either os-huh or ozu.

"osu"

I usually just say "oh-su" since it's less ambiguous than "oss".

"Oss-soo"... and then this thread made me realise its more like "oss". But saying "oss-soo" has become a habit and.. its nicer to say it imo. Feels more fitting at least to me..

oh-soo (おす), just like what it sounds in Japanese

I've known the entire time it was oss, but it just flows better as oh soo.

...It's written as 押忍. And that's not what it sounds like in Japanese (it's ohss).

Since if you type "osu" in Japanese romaji IME it's likely to give you something like ♂, because the word 雄 (male) is pronounced exactly the same way as 押忍 in Japanese, so you can literally just call it something like "Game for man"...

For those who are interested in what's the Japanese word for ♀, it's 雌 (めす), romaji written as "mesu".
