How do you say SUSE?

I always thought those whoe said susa instead of soos are wrong.
Suse stands for "Software und System-Entwicklung" https://linuxiac.com/opensuse/
Edit: Yes, she can still be wrong but then it's supported by the rest of susa's staff https://youtu.be/RsME20zXbQI&t=13

Funny except the video's pronunciation is wrong since it is a German name for a company founded in Germany.
So it's a joke by suse themself?
English pronunciation seems more like a joke by the makers of the English language itself.
English is an open-source project with no overarching plan and several major variants that has had literally millions of contributors over thousands of release cycles per branch. There's bound to be some cruft in the code.
Anyone who suggests reform is enacting that one xkcd about standards. And no-one will use their variant except for a few enthusiasts who think it's the best thing since sliced silicon.
The marketing idiots who published this are Americans. The pronunciation is borderline correct but not quite.
So it's a joke by suse themself?
No, obviously not.
The joke and the funny song still works, but his pronounciation is simply wrong. He pronounces something like "Susa" with an a.
The correct pronounciatuon of this e goes - as another commenter already said - like the first e in 'mesmerized'.
You are saying suse publishes a video about how to pronounciate suse with an incorrect pronounciation?
As another German, I can confirm that the "first e in mesmer" way is how Germans would pronounce it. See for example 11seconds into this German video also officially from SUSE's YouTube channel - a SUSE employee and German native speaker who is moderating a series of talks is using that pronunciation.
It's just a tiny mistake that most Germans are used to hearing Americans make all the time (see also Porsche which is also not pronounced porsh, nor por-shay, but porsh-eh) and will politely ignore, but since this aims to be an educational video, should be pointed out to be slightly incorrect
At least porsch-ee makes sense given English pronunciation, Susa just sounds random
You largely make it up to them with your "hello together" though!
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

That's great, thx. Hence, in German it's suse and in English it's officially susa.
in English it's officially susa.
LOL so they have just given up :)
It’s a schwa, the most common vowel in English.
I have heard that the French have created their very own pronounciation for "computer".
They say "ordinateur".
Unless there's a joke I'm missing, this a weird way to say French simply has a different word with different roots for computer.
a lot of modern German companies have English names
Yeah, but this one isn't one of them. It is actually an abbreviation of the long-form Software und System-Entwicklung.
But why it isn't WuSE - Weichware und System Entwicklung
Or better NAP - "Software Aus Nürnbergistan".
Its not as it is made by SUSE the company. It doesn't matter what you think.
