Fun fact:

In Dutch, two o's make a long o sound. Dode. "oe" makes the "oo" sound.

What is "oo" sound if not long o sound? Sorry, not natives englishian.

Dutch "rood" is pronounced like English "road".

Dutch "moed" is pronounced like English "mood".

This is wild to me as an English speaker.

It's simple:

  • One o makes a short o-sound,

  • two o's makes a long o-sound
