Question
Read the word and identify weather “Y” has a long sound or short sound. Yo Yo
Long “Y”
Short “Y”
Hint:
Since "Y" is a semi-vowel, it is pronounced both like a consonant and a vowel depending on the position of the letter in any word. It becomes long when it is pronounced like a vowel and short when pronounced like a consonant.
The correct answer is: Short “Y”
The correct answer is "Short Y". When "Y" is located in the beginning of a word, it behaves like a consonant and when it is in the middle or the end of a word, it behaves like a vowel. Here, we have "Y" in the beginning of the word "Yo Yo" and so it will be pronounced as a consonant and have a short sound. Therefore, the correct answer is "Short Y".
