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.
andrewkeyboardwarrior

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.

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 🤣
adamkdean
•May 1, 2024
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.

dyland

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”.
hadderakk

i was confused the first time someone said pseudo to me. that is, after all, a word with no obvious connection to command lines.

This is like 'gif' vs 'jif'. I know it stands for super-user-do but here, the "right" answer is wrong.

I always pronounced it as "soo-dough".. until I realized "soo-doo" is more appropriate as it conveys "do as a super user". I am surprised soo-dough scored so much higher!
vimmer9
•May 1, 2024
Maybe it's su--
sinewalker
•May 1, 2024
I've tried to "correct" myself and start saying "soo-doo", but I keep doing back to the dough. I think it's because of the Simpsons influence ("duh-oh! Soo dough bang bang'), or maybe because dough rhymes with go.

ferricoxide

Was this posted, previously, as a different type of post? Could swear I'd already commented on a similar post a week or so ago.
I wonder how many people intentionally butcher the pronunciation of something just to mess with people (or otherwise to see how many people they can convince, "no, this is the right way,").

I imagine I was taught by my first CS professor and she had a VERY strong accent. It took me far too long to realize "struct trees" were actually "structures". 😂

maxart2501

Neither.
soodoh
Phonetically it's [suˈdo]
Accidentally, "sudo" in Italian means "I sweat". Puns usually ensue.

The same as pseudo
Dough drags it out too long. But it's that sound.
dertseha

How about man pages are required to also include the intended pronunciation including IPA key? That would be fun :)
This would also settle stuff like "awk", "chroot", or "nginx"...
zahidtekbas

I pronounce it like almost the same pronunciation for pseudo.
leob

"Sooo-dough" ... never thought about it, it just seems the natural way to pronounce it if you see it as "just" a word without any connotation to "su" or "do".
raymag
•May 1, 2024
Very well, that's a good question. I usually use the Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation, so I think it's more like "soo-dough"

ahferroin7

Habitually like the US English pronunciation of 'pseudo'.
When actually explaining the command to people though, I pronounce it as three syllables, spelling out the first two letters and pronouncing the last two just like the English word 'do', because that's how it breaks down as an acronym (short for 'Switch User and DO', derived from
su
for 'Switch User').tellspecmark
•May 1, 2024
linux and MacOSX
man su
say "substitute user" (though "switch" seems to make more sense). but i'm pretty sure that in the old days it was "superuser", which is the default user to switch to.antontsvil

Definitely soo-dough. I am thinking about aliasing sudo to please, however. Guess I’ll see how I like it and then decide whether it’s “soo-dough” or “plee-ze”.
lallenfrancisl

Jumped ships from soo-dough to soo-do after reading discussion
kspeakman
•May 1, 2024
Pseudo. I always took it as being a pseudo-superuser if your user account has sudo permission. Also, the two vowels used are different so it feels more natural (to me) to use different sounds between the syllables. I heard it pronounced "pseudo" for years before I heard some random video on the internet pronounce it as "doo". I just took it as that person not knowing any better and felt bad for them. But I guess it is possible that my pronunciation has been wrong or that popular opinion can change what is "right". (Look at gif, where most of the internet disagrees with the creator of the format on pronunciation.)
The "please" meme is kinda funny, but in my mind it builds the wrong mental model of what sudo is for. It is a protection from making mistakes, a design feature to isolate user-level from system-level changes. Not courtesy. Well anyway, I guess there's nothing wrong with having fun with it as long as you know it's actual purpose.
strzibny
•May 1, 2024
No, it's not superuser actually. It's from su command "switch user". Also check the man page that says "sudo, sudoedit — execute a command as another user". That means not necessary superuser.

It's not superuser actually. It's from su command "switch user". Also check the man page that says "sudo, sudoedit — execute a command as another user". That means not necessary superuser. Root is just a default for the command.

I use soo-doo because it is the compilation of the phonetics from the command's unabbreviated form:
