What do you call these?

Germany: Netzteil
Otherwise PSU
I'd usually only call something 'Netzteil' in the context of computers and not devices primarily used with batteries in mind

I generally think of these as "transformers", but I call it a power supply. Mostly folks look at me like a Labrador trying to do calculus, and say "You mean a power brick?"
When I was a kid I saw some model train stuff in boxes in our house storage and asked about it, my dad said we needed a transformer, unfortunately not the many Transformers I had in my toybox...we never got the power one but I always remember thinking we needed one to power trains for years. No idea what ever happened to them, now that I think of it I assume my Mom made sure we didn't have storage after a move, I always wanted to see those trains move.

Or in my language -- "Negocinho".
A Negocinho and a Cabo ("a thingie and a cable") make a phone charger ("carregador de celular")

Power bricks or USB bricks. A dongle is an adapter, so it has some sort of thing on each side (besides a power plug lol).

As it says on the device, power adapter. But if you wanted to be more specific, you could call it a USB power adapter.
Wall charger should also get the message across.
Take your fiancée to the hospital & check for stroke. Dongles...are something entirely different. Always.

Butts. Seriously. But no one ever knows what im asking for, so then I say "the cube, the brick, the chargey part...with a usb please"
I don't think I made it up, but literally no one else ever seems to call them that, so idk where I heard it.

I don't believe that's true either. A flash drive is a dongle isn't it
