Synonyms
Derived terms
French
Etymology
Borrowed from German Volkswagen.
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /vɔl(k)s.va.ɡən/, /-ɡɛn/
Proper noun
Volkswagen m
- Volkswagen (car manufacturer)
Noun
Volkswagen f (plural Volkswagen)
- a Volkswagen car
- Synonyms: Volks, Volksie
Derived terms
German
- VW (abbreviation, much more common than the full form)
Etymology
From Volk (“people, folk”) + -s- + Wagen (“car, vehicle”).
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ˈfɔlksˌvaːɡən/, [ˈfɔlksˌvaːɡŋ̍], [-ˌʋaː-], [-ɡ(ə)n]
Proper noun
Volkswagen m or n (proper noun, strong, genitive Volkswagens)
- Volkswagen (car manufacturer)
Usage notes
- The company name is used without an article, so its gender does not become apparent. It could theoretically be masculine (like the underlying Wagen) or neuter (like most company names), but both of these sound awkward. The form Volkswagen-Konzern m will be used whenever a gendered form is needed.
Noun
Volkswagen m (strong, genitive Volkswagens or Volkswagen, plural Volkswagen or (chiefly southern) Volkswägen)
- A car made by the German car manufacturer.
Ich fahre einen Volkswagen.- I drive a Volkswagen.
Declension
Declension of Volkswagen [masculine, strong]
