Why are there 2 dots over the letter you in word naive?

You're right! There are two dots over the "u" in the word "naïve". These dots are called diaereses.

Here's why they're there:

* Pronunciation: In French, the "u" in "naïve" is pronounced as a separate vowel sound, like "ee". The diaereses indicate that the "u" is not silent and should be pronounced individually.

* Origin: The word "naïve" comes from the French word "naïf". The diaereses were used in French to indicate that the "u" was a distinct vowel sound.

* English Usage: While the word "naïve" has been adopted into English, the diaereses are still used in many cases to preserve the original French pronunciation and distinguish it from words like "nave" (a church aisle).

So, those two dots are there to remind us that the "u" in "naïve" is a distinct vowel sound, even though it may look like a silent letter!
