The finnish y isnt in the English phonetic palette, so if you can't say it (similar to the german ü) then you're out of luck, because you can't spell something phonetically if it doesnt exist in english. Ä/ä is identical to the a in 'hat'.

Thanks for all your help, sadly my ex-wife changed her phone number without telling me so I could call my daughter to wish her happy birthday after all
