Not necessarily how it's "supposed" to be pronounced, what do you say? (in your head or aloud)
How do you pronounce sudo?

suh dood
Why not
saa-daa, for Substitute User Does?Ess You Doo :D
I pronounce it, "Fran that # sign better not mean you're root just to run
journalctl."I was told it was short for "super user do" and thus should be pronounced soo doo.
That said, it looks too much like su dough to me, and this is how I say it. Perverse, I know.
In some of the first episodes of Breaking Bad, they were always saying "We need to get Pseudo", which was short for Pseudoephedrine, but I kept thinking it was "sudo" and it confused me.
In regional Swedish saudo. Something like that 🙂.
soo-doo
sudosounds like速度(sudu)in China, which meansspeed,hurry up!Soo-dough because it rolls off the tongue better and because the *nix geeks my dad hung around with when I was a wee bitty kid in the 80-90s pronounced it that way.
Similarly to how we learned to pronounce gif (JIF) correctly before most of you were out of diapers 🤣
Nope. I read it on the gentoo wiki when I was compiling Linux at the age of 12.
Not really, but I remember learning sometime in the last decade that it stood for super-user-do, which makes soo-doo make sense, but 20 years of soo-dough makes it unchangeable in my brain.
Sudo 😂
Like the pokemon Sudowoodo
su --> Ess-you
sudo --> Ess-you-doo
I looked it up and Sudo is short for “Superuser do” which I didn’t know before. Never thought to look it up 😏 Which leads me to believe it SHOULD be pronounced “soo doo” which is a bummer because it sounds weird so I’ll keep pronouncing it “soo dough”.
