    How do you pronounce the name “Wille”? How about “Ville”?

    Or that singers family name, Wirtanen? Not the same as Virtanen?

    Or, in which way do you pronounce the word “wero”? The same as “vero”, or something different?

    Can you give an example of a Finnish word with a “w” that is not pronounced the same as the Finnish “v”?

      They are pronounced the same hence phonetically they are the same but they are not concodered the same letter. If they were the same, people would be unsure if words are written with v or w or use them interchangeably, which does not happen.
