That should be "Über", really, shouldn't it?
I don't know, I've never used the service, but the vowel-sound "Ü" doesn't occur in native English. I guess most people just say "Oober" and be done with it. To me, "Über" looks like a foreign word, not an import. In English, I think it's used only as a brand-name, and as part of the word "Übermensch", a term associated with a particular philosophy book.
- kuschku 3y agoSo there's three pronunciations I'd use. In German, the german word "über": [ˈyːbɐ] In German, the company "Uber": ['uːbə] In English, the company "Uber": [ˈjuːbə]
