How to get a function from a list element?

Question

I have a set of arguments in a list like:

uy = {21/2 + y/2, 13.6667 + 0.666667 y, 20 + y}

Now, I want to assign a function (call it 'f(y)') to an element of that list:

f[y_] := uy[[1]][y]

It seems the way I define f(y) it's not correct. Any suggestions on how to define it properly?

Thank you very much

An in order to obtain a list of functions f? I mean:

For[i = 1, 4 > i,

 f[[i]][y_] = uy[[i]]; 

 i++]

Answer 1

This creates a list of pure functions:

flist = Function[y, #] & /@ uy;

And then

f = flist[[1]]

Or directly:

f = Function@@{y, uy[[1]]}
