How do you pronounce PEI?

For what ever reason I read PEI as PIE so I call it a pie plate. Am I supposed to say pee plate or pay plate ? I think I am going to order a DarkMoon G10 so I can quit fretting about this .:wink:

I say it like P.E.I. Like an acronym.

/piː/ (Pee)

/iː/ (ee)

/aɪ/ (Eye)

As Skyripper said before, you call each letter individually.

Might as well be formal and refer to it as its full name and say Polyetherimide

I always find it interesting how people pronounce acronyms or others just say the letters though.

I think if it were written P.E.I. I would probably say it that way. I would say P dot E dot I dot plate. :sweat_smile:

There is no English word “PEI”, so no English pronunciation. But there are Mandarin syllables that’d be spelled this way in English: pēi, péi, pěi, pèi.

If you were going to pronounce one of them, saying it like “pay” is correct.

The emphasis and pitch used differentiate the 4 syllables.

Hmm, I thought it was Prince Edward Island.:wink:
