You're viewing a single thread.
In Swedish the letter w is called "dubbel v", apart from when spelling URLs, then we just say something like "ve, ve, ve, punkt, de, änn, punkt, äss, e" if we wanted to say the URL "www.dn.se".
The "äss" phonetic spelling will really help the english speakers reading it not pronounce it as "ass". Love it.
Hehe, I didn't even consider that (:
In sweden we have lots of äss.
I'd probably have transcribed the letter pronunciation as 've, ve, ve, punkt, de, en, punkt, ess e'.
Just goes to show you that 'en' doesn't even follow the normal pronunciation rules of Swedish, unless we're talking about the tree, in which case it does.
I thought about that but "en" is pronounced differently from "änn", and we have the word "äss" from a deck of cards.
I had to double-check, because I've only ever used the spelling "Ess". Turns out both variants are correct.
I also refuse this bizarre English / German / Polish idea that W is a separate letter and not just a fun way to write V.
