I heard a guy call it a “we” and I liked that. Such as:
“ay-we-ee” (A-W-E)Normal conversational speed: dubya
Enunciating: double you
Need to be unambiguous: whiskey
More like duba-you instead of dubya in normal conversation.
In Irish it’s called wae.

What is a “westerner”?
I love to poke at people’s conception of Western with these questions:
Is New Zealand Western?
Is Japan Western?
Is Brazil Western?
Is South Africa Western?
Is Kenya Western?
Is Lebanon Western?
Is Israel Western?
Is Hungary Western?
Is Finland Western?
Is Russia Western?
Is Armenia Western?
There’s also “dubyuh” that’s fairly common. Hell, we had a president that pronounced it that way.
W, pronounced as in a couple of lesbian sheep.
In my Carolina drawl it comes out as “dubbayew.”
Doubleyou
Way to complicated, just say “we” with the w from way and the e from hell like we Germans do.
“ve”
Dubba you
Canadians here.
It’s “double-you”, but if spoken quickly, it can become “dub-you”
Non native speaker, and both of those hold true for me as well. Unless I’m referencing a hostname with www in it; then I just say dub-dub-dub
I still stick the yous in there, haha
How someone is pronouncing W is actually a good way to guess where the speaker is from, or where the person that taurht them learned english.
double you for british/american accents
dubba you for some american accents
Dablu or dabloo is a clear indication that the speaker is not a naitive western english speaker, usually indicating indian for the speaker.
double v (often pronounced as double we) usually points towards somewhere near germany/holland/belgium
I’ve never heard anyone say just dub, curious if anyone has?
Edit: I lied. W pronounced ‘dub’ is only ever used to indicate a ‘win’. e.g. ‘Took the dub’
double v (often pronounced as double we) usually points towards somewhere near germany/holland/belgium
As a Dutchie, we pronounce W as “Weigh” or “Way”. No double nonsense.
Or in school names, like U Dub for University of Washington.
Just dub-dub-dub for a url
“Dubble-you”
Not saying where I’m from.
Isn’t that a maple leaf though?
Kansan here. It’s pronounced “double-you,” but my mouth tends to skip past the L so it sounds more like “dub-you” or “dub-yə”
