"le wi-fi"

Translation: the Wi-Fi

[InvertedGo]

Is th hst actually how wifi is pronounced? "Wee-fee"?

[ikwilvertalen]

Yes, it is.

[Big__Show]

It sounds so much cuter! I think this is how I'm going to pronounce it at home from now on

[Lafayette94th]

Big_Show - I think it's funny that they pronounce it that way! (BTW - congrats on being so deep in French and German, I'm doing the same thing!)

[MariaNyczWasilec]

XD I died when i heard it was said like that lolololololol

[ezupo1]

in Spanish is wee fee too

[Wayne____]

You mean it's not pronounced that way in English? How embarrassing.

[Gleavage13]

I also have wee fee at home

[SuzetteKin2]

My favorite french word so far lol

[Wayne____]

When I was in HS my favorite was cacahuète.

[Treejog]

wee fee

[Wayne359254]

WiFi alone was accepted without the definite article

[hannah.language]

You mean wee- fee

[Sturmgruss]

We have Wi-fi, the french people have something pronounced Wee-Fee and the germans have W-LAN! As you can see, french is the best! XD At least in my opinion...

[Wayne____]

W-LAN probably makes the most sense. Aside from Wi-Fi being what the Wi-Fi alliance came up with, and definitely more catchy than its prior name of "IEEE 802.11b Direct Sequence," at least "W-LAN" has a meaning. English speakers are familar with Hi Fi, and Sci Fi, but not Wireless Fidelity or Wireless Fiction. So we have something that seems like it should be short for something, but isn't anything more than a marketing tool, unlike most high tech terms.

"We fee" could be the slogan of a check cashing company, trying to be honest about their charges.

[Orino_Fik]

Russians have Waii-Faii (Вай-Фай) ^-^

[hannah.language]

What is XD

[Wayne____]

It has many meanings, but when used at the end of a sentence with no other context, it's an emoticon. It's like a sideways smiley face, but with the eyes closed down to an X.

[pohoka]

in Hungarian it's "wee-fee" too

[gail558895]

I understand that 'le Wi-Fi" is the Wi-Fi, but in English we often drop the particle "the" and just say "wi-fi". It all depends on the context.

[Kaeden156964]

LMAOOO "le weeee-fee" like he sounds so sarcastic about it

[Will615550]

it sounds like le huit! Nothing at all like wi-fi (or wee-fee)

[UnMe11]

I smell a rat.....;)

[Marianne9996]

I'm laughing so hard, " Wee-Fee " It's adorable how they say it.

[Vintersdrom]

J'ai besoin du le mot de passe wi-fi, s'il vous plaît.

[AndrewHill749606]

Wow the male voice sounds so sad saying this, like he's so tired and sighing.
"le wee feeee sigh"

[GeorgiaHum5]

A message for Duolingo: Please note that in English we spell wi-fi as wifi (no dash and no capital letters). Merci.

[Wayne____]

Wi-Fi is a trademark of the Wi-Fi alliance and is spelled the way I spelled it. I can't stop others from misspelling it though.

No company that makes equipment with Wi-Fi capability will spell it any differently.
