How do you pronounce water in German?

Answer 1

If WATER were a word in German, it would be pronounced WA ter

(WA like WAter in English, and ter like ter rific in English - with the accent being on the first syllable).

However, the word for water in German is WASSER, which is pronounced

VAS ser (the A in VAS sounding the same as the A in WATER, and the ser sounding like the English word SIR). The accent for WASSER is on the first syllable.

Answer 2

In German, the word for water is pronounced as "vah-ter." The "w" in German is pronounced like a "v" sound, and the "a" is pronounced like in "car."
