    R and L share the same letter, so it's like a mix between the two.
    Yer-ee. The video had it pronounced You-di.

    I think it actually sounds a little like the Finnish word "juuri" which means "root".

    I might be a 1/4 Norwegian, but I can't say a word of the language.

    "Juuri" looks like it would be pronounced "jury."

    Nope. Finnish is a funny language. You pronounce everything the way you write it. So the "u" sound almost the same like you'd say "you". Not a short, sharp u like in "jury". And the last bit doesn't sound like a "y" anyway.

    Only that American seemed to do it differently so far, must be something about that place.

    Ah, I get it! That actually probably makes more sense than English, you have to learn all the rules to be able to spell and pronounce correctly in English.

    I got the rest of them right! Just Yuri was off. Yes, it probably is something about that place, Utah is bad.

    From what I've understood Finnish is among the top 5 hardest languages to learn, so don't count on it being easy.

    It has never been hard for me, partly because I've watched a lot of Anime and partly because I pronounce it almost the same way in Swedish
    I would imagine that would help. Yeah, it's pronounced exactly the same as how I would pronounce Judy (the "d" sound at least).

    Also, <3 Judy.
