Pronouncing ASUS: A-sus" or "a-SOOS" ...

[The Pentium Guy]

I always pronounced it "A sus" but I called the rma guy and he said welcome to "a SOOS" rma.

"ASS-es"

 

[Accipiter22]

they say it A-sooos i say it a-SUHS

 

[JDrake]

awwwwssssuuusss

 

[ForumMaster]

i say it asoos. does it really matter?

 

[mercanucaribe]

Ay-soos sounds like Jesus.. I say A-suhs because it sounds better. There's no reason to say ay-soos because it's not a word. In Engish, U happens to be pronounced "uh" not "ooo".

 

[Brutuskend]

I always pronounced it A ZUSE

 

[The Pentium Guy]

Or you could just say A S U S...

When I went to Comdex in 1997, they pronounced it as "A ZOOS" and "A SOOS". But that's just ASUS, what do they know.

 

[bleuless]

its a taiwanese company, with a taiwanese pronounciation of a soos.
kinda like honda is really pronounced hown da
or nissan is ni sun

 

[Zedtom]

A-Suss

What is the name anyway? Does anyone know if its an acronym or a persons last name?

BTW-I have bought many of their boards and like the company.

You're pronouncing it incorrectly. It's pronounced A SOOS.

ASUS is named after the Greek god SUS(pronounced "SOOS"), the third cousin of Zeus.

In ancient Greek mythology, SUS is the god of motherboards.
