It is actually 1,3-butadiene
 
So if there is two double bonds its di-"prefix"-ede ?
 
It is diene, no idea what you wrote - seems completely unrelated.

Technically correct IUPAC name is probably but-1,3-diene, but I am not going to pretend I am expert on organic nomenclature.

That is correct, 'ene' though, not 'ede'

Somehow I fail to see "prefix" between di and ene.

Yea completely fell asleep on that reply, prefix before diene.
 
Thanks, I understand now
