And, if you don't mind explaining, how to prenounciate it? is it the same Y or is it prenounced like the english j, or perhaps another way? - Shinji01, Oct 24, 2009

I've never seen it used alone in a statement. Could you site an example to enlighten me?
If it was used by itself in a question, such as ¿Y?, then it could mean "What of/about it?" or "And so...?"

I think by a "single y" he meant that it wasn't part of a word, not that it was the only word in the sentence.. - 0074b507, Oct 25, 2009

You pronounce it like "ee".

"Y" basically translates into "and". Here are a few examples:
"Y tú?" = "And you?" "Me gusta ir de compras y sacar fotos." = "I like shopping and taking pictures."
