"ze" is more like "the", no? I've seen "dey" been used sometimes, but it's not common at all

    "Ze" would be pronounced like "tsay." "Zie" would be closer to "the", sounding like "tsee."

    Probably understood that in the wrong direction. Ze (eng. phon.) would be spelled more like "sie" (ger. phon.) and would sound like "the" with a German accent. They would become either dey (eng. phon.) or zey (eng. phon.), spelled like "deej" or "seej" (ger. phon.), or even without the y (or j) at the end.

    I think. I'm neither native German or English.
