  1. 7:27 Google Translate pronounces the word "Ytterby" as "yt-ter-by", close to "it-ter-bi" and without any "u". Both "y" are stressed.

  2.  @chri-k  In the video these y were pronounced somewhere between Russian Ы and Ю, with a mix of И (=ee) and weak r.

  3.  @chri-k  The difference is very small. We in Russian call this town "Иттербю" /Itterbyu/, because this sound is absent in Russian, and the letter "ю" after consonant is quite close to the right sound, and in the beginning of word "ю" is read like "yu" with extra sound [j], and therefore changed to "И" (="I").
