Never getting to actually talk to another Linux user let alone one using
SUSE. It occurs to me that I don't know what the preferred pronunciation
is.

I've been saying (in talking to my wife):

soo say

But then I suppose it could be one of:

soo suh

suh say

soos

or others.

So, would anyone care to enlighten me?

Thanks in advance,

In English, I say it as if spelled Suzy. If I were speaking German, I
would say soo-zay.

There is nothing wrong with adapting the sounds of a foreign word (or
acronym) to the sounds of your own language.

Pree-vacy vs. Privacy

Is-sue vs. Issue

Cont^roversy vs. Contro^versy

Ough-buntu vs. You-buntu

Houghi bothered to even have sound files in his Web site to shed some light
on the pronunciation of his own name.
