Best Answer

The word "humus" is pronounced, in English, as follows: HYOU-mus.

Specifically, it is a case of pronouncing a two-syllable word. The initial letter "h" is sounded and glided into the second letter "u," which is pronounced in the same, long-sounding way as the second person pronoun "you." In the second syllable "-mus," the vowel "u" has the same, short sound as the "u" sound in the first person plural object pronoun "us."

It is the first syllable that gets the stress.
