Is Wehrmeister German?

Question

And in German, are w's pronounced as v's? Are there w's in the german language?

Answer 1

Yes, it's German
Yes, they're pronounced as W's
and I can't think of any word in German that uses the same "w" sound we do.

Answer 2

Yes. wehrmeister is german, W's are pronounced like english V's. There is no W sound in the german language.

Answer 3

Yes, looks German.
Yep, w's pronounced like v's.
The only "w" as in English I can think of is "whiskey" which might be a bit like "viskey" but more like "whiskey". Also, some German speakers seem to overcompensate and pronounce English v words like visitor with a w sound: wisitor.
More w facts: the letter is called "vo" in German, unless it's George Bush's initial, in which case it's usually pronounced "double-you".

Answer 4

Ya. Pronounced Vermeister

Answer 5

I've never heard that German word before but that doesn't mean it isn't one. W's are pronounced as v's and they don't very often have a 'wuh' sound in their words, but when they do it's made by a combination of vowels. Also the letter J is a Y, and the letter V is an F. Looked up the word, it's literal translation is 'military master' so it's sort of like our word for general.

Answer 6

Kaitlyn well some times in German language we do pronounce
the same letter W's and it sounds like normal A,E,I O andU
vowles also Y can be a consantable .Because all are suffixes
ed, un, dis, ect, ing
okay?

Answer 7

Wehrmeister should be a german family name.
Best you would pronounce it if you pronounce wehr like the word "where" and meister similar like master, but the beginning of master not like 'ma' but like 'my' (master is the english word for meister).
where-my-ster would sound great (although with slight american accent).

Answer 8

yes, and yes,
