Pronouncing /y/ as a Vowel In a one-syllable word, /y/ is pronounced as an /ai/ (I) sound,
such as in the words: my, fly, try, cry, shy. If you have a /y/ in the
first syllable of a word it is pronounced as a short /ih/ sound. An
example of this pronunciation occurs in the words cyst, Lynn, gym, and
gymnasium.
Pronunciation of the Letter �Y� At The End of a Word? If a word is one syllable, and ends in a �Y�, pronounce it as the long I sound. This is the case in words like �my�, �by�, �shy�. If a word is two syllables, and ends in a �Y�, pronounce it as the long E sound. This is the case in words like �happy�, �penny�, �baby�. Hope it helps Monique |
