For me, "Tee" = T-shirt",
But actually there is another meaning for "Tee".
"Tee" = In golf, the place where you begin to hit the ball at each hole (= area of play), or the small stick that holds the ball up so that you can hit it easily

Tee is the German word for tea... (It's pronounced "tay" )Originally posted by meltz:kopi or tee ...
In fact, the word tea (English) or tee (German) comes from the Hokkien word "te", because Southern China was the main exporter of tea for many centuries. Most European languages follow the Hokkien word "te". For example, French: thé. Dutch: thee. Italian: tè. Spanish: té. Portuguese is an exception, which follow the Cantonese word "cha": chá.
As for Asian languages, most languages follow the Cantonese "cha" instead of the Hokkien "te". Languages that pronounce tea as "cha" include Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, Thai, Russian, Hindu, etc. Of course, there are exceptions. One famous example is Malay: teh.
