Hi Miaozilong I guess you must be asking how this word is pronounced,right?
muso is pronounced like: mÅso There are also many new Australian words and expressions that you may hear in Australia, especially in informal and social situations. Many Australians use swear words to intensify their speech and colourful expressions, particularly comparisons and metaphor, to describe something vividly. Australians are usually very informal and like to joke, and Aussie English often also reflects this. You will hear Australians use many words and expressions that end in either an “ie” or “o” ending, and these are actually shortened and more affectionate or informal versions of standard English words. For example, “barbie”, “Aussie” and “footie” are common Australian colloquial words for “barbecue”, “Australian” and “football” while “arvo”, “compo” and “muso” are Aussie words for “afternoon”, “worker’s compensation” and “musician” respectively.
