As McBryce wrote, this "yuki" would probably mean snow, Hiragana spelling ゆき, Kanji 雪, IPA [jɯki].
The Japanese sound system is way more streamlined than that of English or German. The resulting "crispness" makes spoken Japanese quite easy to understand, even if you take local dialects into account.
The "Yukky" used by McBryce in his last post is a bit problematic, since it introduces a glottal stop before the ki-mora and shifts the [ɯ] towards [ʌ], and is therefore quite far from the original pronunciation.
