dabılyu

The turkish name for the letter Ww, pronounced “dah˙buhl˙yoo”
Me: “English webpates start with ‘double-you double-you double-you.’”
Yelda: “Webpages in Turkey start with ‘Dabılyu dabılyu dabılyu.’”
Me: “So if you want to dictate a webpage to a native Turkish speaker, you’d say ‘www’ as in English, but with slightly different pronunciation and spelling. Isn’t that crazy?”
