An Aussie is a person from Australia. It is informal and usually friendly; Australians use it about themselves. People also put it before a noun: Aussie humour, an Aussie accent. In writing it normally takes a capital A. You write ss, but you say a z sound — it comes out like ‘Ozzie,’ not ‘Ossie.’ That z is normal in this kind of Australian and British nickname. It is not rude, but it is not the word for a formal form: there you write Australian.
澳洲人（口語暱稱；也可當形容詞用）
組成A clipped, nicknaming form of Australian (or Australia) plus -ie. The spelling likely copied an older personal nickname Aussie (from Austin or Augusta), which keeps a soft s. The country word is different: people say it with a z, and the first vowel is short and strong (in British and Australian English, like the o in hot).
