In German it's called a Doppel-Vau, with Vau being the letter V.

In Dutch it's just called wee, none of this double bullshit

In German it's V = Fau, W = Vee.

[–] Hagdos 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Huh. I learned doppel-fau in high school. Could it be that both terms are used?

[–] lugal 2 points 11 months ago

No. Romance languages use variations of double V but not German

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

No, I'm not aware of any dialect that does and standard German definitely doesn't use it.
