The pronunciation is different depending on what letter the word following "the" is. For example, if "the" is followed by a word starting with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u), one would pronounce it "thee." If it is followed by any other letter, it'd be pronounced "thuh."

Example:

"Thee apple tree"

"Thee egg"

"Thee ice"

"Thee otter"

"Thee umbrella"

"Thuh car"

"Thuh door"

"Thuh river"
