#### Synonyms

* (car): volkkari, folkkari

#### Derived terms

* volkkari

## French
### Etymology

Borrowed from German Volkswagen.

### Pronunciation

* IPA: /vɔl(k)s.va.ɡən/, /-ɡɛn/
* Audio:(file)
* Audio:(file)

### Proper noun

Volkswagen m
* Volkswagen (car manufacturer)

### Noun

Volkswagen f (plural Volkswagen)
* a Volkswagen car
    Synonym: Volks, Volksie

#### Derived terms

* Volks

## German
### Alternative forms

* VW (abbreviation, much more common than the full form)

### Etymology

From Volk (“people, folk”) +‎ -s- +‎ Wagen (“car, vehicle”).

### Pronunciation

* IPA: /ˈfɔlksˌvaːɡən/, [ˈfɔlksˌvaːɡŋ̍], [-ˌʋaː-], [-ɡ(ə)n]
* Audio:(file)

### 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.
