Pete contains the long vowel sound /i:/

In English the following vowel combinations often produce this sound:

ee, such as in three, tree, free, wheel, or sheet

ea, such as in meat, treat, wheat, bleat, or seat.

e plus consonant plus e, such as in mete or Pete.

y in a two syllable word, such as fifty, windy, or stingy.

Sometimes the i can give the /i:/ sound in words of foreign origin such as piano, siesta, or sushi.
