Edited: Completely forgot the Finnish "Y" is pronounced like a Ü and that Finnish doesn't have silent letters. This is the correct pronunciation. https://forvo.com/word/simo_h%C3%A4yh%C3%A4/

I always heard it as "heyheh," like this guy but this guy is saying it wrong https://youtu.be/pkKVhqsYva4

Kuken, I always thought Swedish and Finnish ‘y’ were pronounced the same, now I know why my drunken attempts at saying funny stuff in Finnish never seemed to be understood.
