Question for Europeans that pronounce the letter W as V: How do you say one syllable words like 'dawn'?
My most ignorant question yet.

@ElctrcBoogalord @W0LFB3AT5: Actual German here, that seems to be mainly an issue when they try to speak english. Our v is supposed to be pronounced like a soft f, whereas the w is similar to the US one.
Every European language does it differently.
@ElctrcBoogalord: I've been in Germany for 8 years. The accents I hear them always start with "V" when pronouncing any words that begin with "W".
-Wurzberg: Vurzpurg
-Wonderful: Vonterful (Vunderbar)
-Winter Wonderland: Vinta Vunderland
Etc...
@ElctrcBoogalord: but "w" in between the word would not make a difference. But it depends on their accent.
@ElctrcBoogalord: We don't use W almost at all, words using it are usually variations made from english words and always pronounced just V.
Example: Watti, pronounced Vatti, comes from english Watt. Most likely kept as V is short for Volt.
