I've heard both "Peh-tree" with soft "e" or "Pee-tree" with long "e" or something else?

How do you pronounce Petri?
- Thread starter Stevehose
- Start date
Short E as Peh-Tree is the steering wheel. Long E is a chemist's Pee-Tree dish.
..... pae-tri Almost like poetry which infact a Petri is for an E9! Other than you have an Alpina MoMo of course!
Ok, this is meant to be funny so take it as that ........Do we have too much time on our hands?
Ahh yes, the Petri Dish. Invented by Julius Richard Petri while working at Kaiserliches Gesundheitsamt in Germany. Julius Petri was born in Zeitz, Germany in 1852. Not to be confused with Richard Petri, who in 1899 founded Petri AG in Aschaffenburg, Germany. Certainly pronounced differently
Don't take my word for it though. Leave it up to Takata-Petri. Listen to the first 10 seconds...
Since Don’s German is good.....
Better than mine. I only know a few important words in German.

How about Ausfahrt? Not what you are thinking, rather a road exit...... so don’t crack up on the German autobahn like my visiting buddies do.
And to take the cake, there’s an Einfahrt too......try that one for crying out loud
(entrance to your property). Generally says, ‘Einfahrt freihalten’ (do not obstruct entrance)
My car with a Petri steering wheel fahrts often. Braaap!
Right, that’s the Ausfahrt!
Rob and Laura were Pet-trees...not sure they even had a car in New Rochelle..
Ech-spen-siv
These steering wheels should be sold at the same place that sells "Jewels and Schmucks".
Keshav will know how to pronounce Petra- the e in German is pronounced as an A in English
Same as Leben, geben or nehman
Those wily “E” ‘s can be fun.
My German is worse than my Spanish - as long as I can prounounce auslese, spatlese und qualitatswein all is well in the world.
