A friend and I today got caught up in another useless conversation questioning as to why the letter "Y" is only sometimes considered a vowel. After some research, here are the basic rules of this ever so versatile letter...
"Y at the beginning of a syllable marks a consonant sound.
Examples: yak, yellow, etc.
Y elsewhere in a syllable represents a vowel sound.
Examples: the many words with a 'Y' ending/suffix: happy, funny, etc."
