"lány"

Translation: girl

[Fotraki]

When you're a hungarian, and you're learning your own language in english.... XD

[kurhanczyk]

interesting association, in ukrainian лань (lań) means fallow deer.

I don't get the use of the letter y. Is it never pronounced? I can't tell the difference in pronunciation when it's there and isn't.

Hungarian has compound letters. 'Ny' is considered one letter. It's pronounced like the 'ny' in 'canyon'.

[Liggliluff]

Basically it palatalises the consonant.
It turns /n/ into /ɲ/.

[kurhanczyk]

letter y makes previous sound soft.

[TobyBartels]

If by ‘soft’ you mean palatalized, as in Slavic languages.
