I'm pretty sure it's pronounced mü, not mew

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Which is pronounced...? English doesn't have that character. Our closest analogue would be "mew."

[-] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

no, the closest equivalent is "me"

Only in modern Greek. In physics- at least in english- it's pronounced "mew."

huh? ü isn't a greek letter either, the only languages i've seen use it are german and i think turkish, and it's basically just "y"

"Ü" DEFINITELY is not pronounced "ee" so "Mü" is not pronounced "Mee." It's pronounced "Mew."

oh right i mean Y in german, not in english

"ee" is the closest equivalent to it in english

also nice, keep downvoting my messages just because you think i'm dumb, very sensible
