What are some french words that begin with the letter y?

There are very few French words that start with the letter "y". This is because French pronunciation rules generally don't allow for "y" at the beginning of a word. Here are some examples, mostly loanwords:

* Yack: slang for "to talk nonsense"

* Yak: the animal

* Yéti: the Abominable Snowman

* Yoga: the practice

* Yoyo: the toy

It's important to note that the letter "y" is used more frequently within words, often representing a "j" sound. For example:

* "yacht" is pronounced "yôte"

* "voyage" is pronounced "vwa-yaj"
