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.

No need. Only the average Dutchman. And he’s only average, so…
