So it's sort of an ü? That's what my brain hears in the video.
Checking against the ipa given on Wikipedia, I get that ы is the close central unrounded vowel while ü is the close front unrounded vowel. Listening to the audio samples on those pages, I literally cannot hear the difference.
~~There is small difference, but close enough.~~ Yes.
Yeah, I can feel the difference when I say it, but... Well, suffice to say it's not a sound in any of the languages I speak well.
Thanks for indulging a curious language nerd.
