minus-squareMrAlternateTape@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 months agoWe say it just like I wrote it, as one word. Although some people use Griekse IJ, which is also two words.
minus-squareZarlin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 months agoUsually same as our compound letter “ij”, similar but not quite how you’d prononuce the word “eye”. Less commonly it’s pronounced as “i-grec” (greek i) or “ypsilon”.

minus-squaregentooer@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 months agoIn Flanders (at least where I’m at) we usually say I grec, but when doing math or reciting the alphabet, we say IJ.

Sound like igrek.
it’s two words (“i graeca”)
