| Aug 4, 2014 at 22:21 | comment | added | Raphael | "Zwo" is definitely not used / very uncommon in Bavaria. "Zwoa" etc. is a whole different story. | |
| Aug 4, 2014 at 6:30 | comment | added | Crissov | “in German there are more Dialects than in English” – that’s a claim that probably won’t stand any review, even if you applied a very narrow definition of dialect to English and a very broad one to German. | |
| Aug 4, 2014 at 6:24 | comment | added | Ingmar | Also, if you address somebody by last name (in the military, say, at work, or wherever) and it's a very common one the second bearer of that name will usually be addressed as "Müller Zwo" or similar. | |
| Aug 3, 2014 at 19:59 | comment | added | dirkt | It's also used for voice radio traffic (where the reason to differentiate it from "drei" actually matters, otherwise this no reason to use it at all. English uses "niner" and "fower" for the same reason), and in expressions like "links, zwo, drei, vier". | |
| Aug 3, 2014 at 19:57 | comment | added | user unknown | It's not a dialekt thing, afaik. | |
| Aug 3, 2014 at 18:37 | comment | added | LittleByBlue | nope 'Oberpfalz' | |
| Aug 3, 2014 at 18:35 | comment | added | user6191 | Are you from western Bavaria? | |
| Aug 3, 2014 at 18:34 | comment | added | LittleByBlue | But we use mainly zwo and zwoa. | |
| Aug 3, 2014 at 18:32 | comment | added | user6191 | Zwa(a) is used in Austrian dialects, too, not more. "Zwo" is not originally Bavarian. Zwoa and zwa(a) are. | |
