How to pronounce egui

project creator-clarified

ee gooey /ˈiːɡuːi/ mp3

egui is most commonly pronounced "ee gooey" (/ˈiːɡuːi/). This pronunciation is documented by the project itself (see egui official README (emilk/egui)).

Rust immediate-mode GUI library by Emil Ernerfeldt (@emilk). README states verbatim: "pronounced as 'e-gooey'. Please don't write it as 'EGUI'." Lowercase, like "e" + the word "gooey". STRESS: EE-gooey (first syllable). Often mispronounced "ee-gwee" or spelled out E-G-U-I.

Pronouncing project and product names correctly avoids the small but persistent friction of being gently corrected during standups, conference Q&As, and team calls. Hearing the word a few times locks in the right reading better than reading IPA ever will. Pronounce is a community-maintained dictionary — every entry tagged with a confidence level and (where possible) a citable source.

Hear it from the command line

$ say-it egui # primary × 3 + audible "or: …" for each alternate
$ say-it --why egui # print the dict entry with source URL

Install the CLI: git clone https://github.com/anzy-renlab-ai/pronounce.git && cd pronounce && ./install.sh
