How do you pronounce it?

oashisu

Japanese speakers may use オアシス to describe a person who has a calming presence, effectively turning a place into a personality trait.
Unlike the English word, which is primarily geographical, オアシス in Japanese is frequently used in commercials for skincare and spas to imply hydration and refreshment.
While オアシス is used metaphorically, Japanese people often use the word 隠れ家 (kakurega), meaning 'a hideout', to describe a small, peaceful, and secret-feeling place like a quiet cafe.
