I pronounce it as "os." Keep the "u" silent.

u after s is always silent in Jap I think. Some of my white Aussie friends pronounce it "aws".

Show me a perfect community and I'll show you a pig that can fly.

In the original games it was always pronounced "os", as the u is often kept silent when it's the final sound in a japanese word.

I pronounce it in three ways...

- OSU (as text says), because my native spanish language.
- ɒsʊ as english referral...

and the japanese one, something like aassu (null U)

meh...

The title emphasis similarities are pretty fishy.

Thank you for finding it for me.

As such, locked.

Even though I've long since retired from osu!, I'll always think of my time here fondly. If by chance you happen to notice this signature on some old forum thread, thanks for stopping by and I hope you're having a great day!
