I've never heard it pronounced any other way than "uzee", so I always assumed that was the right way. The "uschee" might indeed be a Yiddish pronunciation of the "z", like the way some 's' are pronounced as a "th" in some Spanish dialects.

Mc,
Considering that the weapon's nickname is the same as the designer's... The designer was Uziel Gal. I'm not Israeli, nor do I speak Hebrew, but I think that both "ooh-zee" and "u-schee" are acceptable. Any IDF vets in here? |

When customers would bring back their Maadi's after shooting them for 20 rounds, I'd give them my one liner..."so you're Maad eh?" Usually made the customer think twice whether my joke really was that bad or if they missed it. They usually didn't stay mad long, they just laughed AT me. That hurt my ego. I'm saddened to this day. |

It's SAW-bow. It's french for "shoe" I think. Makes sense when you realize what it means. Sako is Sock-O. And yep it's irritating hearing it Sake-o. Puhun suomea. crash. |

I saw an interview with Uziel Galil, the uzi's inventor. It sounded to me like he pronounced it "ootzi". G. Gordon Liddy pronounces it that way too.
On the other hand, Harcourt Academic Press Dictionary pronounces it "oozie". |

It is a french word, so sAy-bow is correct, although I say sAy-bott...... |

My pet peeve is Husqvarna, as in rifles, outdoor power equipment, and sewing machines (my wife has a Viking-Husqvarna).
It is NOT pronounced "husk-uh-var-nah". In Sverige, (Swedish for Sweden, pronounced shfair-ee-yuh or shfair-ee-yer depending on the dialect and literally translated as "Our own Kingdom") "sq" after a vowel is pronounced "sh", and "v" after an "sq" is more like an "f". Say: hoosh-far-nuh. Repeat: hoosh-far-nuh. Tack so mycket! BRS |
