AI overview

Ы/ы (called "Y" in modern Russian) is a letter in the Cyrillic alphabet that represents a vowel sound similar to "i" but pronounced further back in the mouth, and it appears in Russian and Belarusian after hard consonants. This letter is important because it marks a key distinction in these languages between how consonants are pronounced—whether they are "hard" or "soft"—which affects the meaning of words.
