The I sounds like a long E in words from Latin, Italian, and especially French and Spanish, where that is the dominant sound for I.

So words such as broccoli, spaghetti, and chili have an ending long E sound.

Also -ine words from French :

figurine, marine, submarine, latrine, machine, ravine, routine, saline, sardine, tangerine, tambourine, trampoline, vaccine, and wolverine.

Words like unique include antique, boutique, mystique, physique, pique, technique and critique.
