Yes, in the word 'berry' the letter "y" functions as a vowel. Vowels are loosely defined as sounds that are open and are produced without any obstruction or friction of the vocal tract. In the word 'berry,' the y has an "ee" sound--open with no friction. Also, there must be a vowel in every syllable. the second syllable of the word 'berry' is '-ry.' 'R' is a consonant, so 'y' is the obligatory vowel.
