Silly question perhaps, but how is Prusa supposed to be pronounced? It is "Prooser" as in rhymes with "looser"? Or "Prussia" as in rhymes with "Russia"? Or something else?

I pronounce it like "Proosa", not sure what is correct though.

When I was chatting with Adrian Bowyer (I'm such a name dropper!), I'm pretty sure he said "Prusha", like "Russia". But I could be wrong.

Hi, first syllable "Prů" is pronunced like "Proo" from "Prooser", second "ša" like "ssia" in "Russia".
"Prusha" pronunciation like in this video (0:08) is incorrect.
