How Do You Spell WIMMER?

Pronunciation: [wˈɪmə] (IPA)

The spelling of the word "wimmer" may seem straightforward, but it can be misleading if you only rely on English pronunciation rules. The correct pronunciation is actually /ˈvɪmə(r)/, with the first sound represented by the IPA symbol /v/ instead of /w/. This is because "wimmer" is a German surname, and in German, the letter "w" is pronounced as /v/. So, the next time you encounter the word "wimmer," remember to pronounce it like "vimmer".
