How do you pronounce v?

The pronunciation of the letter "v" depends on the language you're speaking.

* In English, the "v" is pronounced like the "v" in "very". It's a voiced labiodental fricative, meaning it's made by placing your top teeth on your lower lip and expelling air.

* In some other languages, like French or Spanish, the "v" can be pronounced differently.

For example, in French, the "v" can sometimes sound like a "w" as in "vous" (pronounced "voo").

If you're unsure about the pronunciation of "v" in a specific language, you can always look it up in a dictionary or online pronunciation guide.
