Go to http://www.askoxford.com/languages/i...pronunciation/
and see how the letter e is pronounced.
Tay is nearer than tee but the actual sound is much shorter.

both "E"s are pronounced the same, as in DEstiny.
no dipthings, tripthongs, or any other thongs such as would give you TAY. TEE [as in a nice cup of] is another sound altogether - more like the VI in Villa.
nochblad - you poor thing. must be tough living there!
