I found a video that shows how it is pronounced.

I have understood that the word THE is pronoun and sounded as DI.
Sincerely yours.

In Spanish you could say that it is pronounced "dii" and "de" depending on if you have a vowel sound or a consonant after the word. The man = de man (the "de" is actually a sound between 'a' and 'e' called "schwa") The elephant = dii elefant (You can watch the video I posted the link of, above.)

Then is dii.
Yes is something similar in my understanding it. Dii- the. Although there's a trick with the tongue, I need to pronoun Dii solely with the tongue. Hay truco. Thank you for your advice Pablin.

De nada, Crotalito, si usas el link que le pongo a Lee Ying en el post de arriba, puedes escuchar "the language man" pronunciando "the" correctamente. (El video no es de una gran calidad, que digamos, pero se oye lo suficiente como para poder practicar y tener el sonido muy claro.)
Un saludín de tu amiguete Pablín, que toca el violín antes de que llegue Hallowííín...

It might help (or not) to know that the TH is used for two entirely different consonants in English:
1. ð The, that, this, those, these, them, etc. 2. Þ Thick, thought, thanks, cloth, etc. |
