how do you pronounce Y ?
Usually same as our compound letter “ij”, similar but not quite how you’d prononuce the word “eye”. Less commonly it’s pronounced as “i-grec” (greek i) or “ypsilon”.
i-grec (but English sound for “e” just like in Dutch) is the French way as well.
Sound like igrek.
it’s two words (“i graeca”)
We say it just like I wrote it, as one word. Although some people use Griekse IJ, which is also two words.
and how would you say xyz ?
XIJZ.
Iks Üpsilon Zett
In Flanders (at least where I’m at) we usually say I grec, but when doing math or reciting the alphabet, we say IJ.
Üpsilon
In Swedish I pronounce y as y. It has its own sound and doesn’t sound like another letter, so it can’t be written as a combination of other letters.
