No need, I've already asked mine :)

I can tell you right off the bat that 'y' does not give 'u' in Greek. It actually is an 'ee' sound. Where people get confused is that the letter 'Y' is the upper case and 'u' is the lower case, but because it looks like an English 'u' people incorrectly pronounce it as such.

Because this message is archived you cannot respond to it.
