I always wondered how do I pronounce Mate in 'Ubuntu Mate'.

I am listening to a podcast and one of the two people always says 'mahteh'. It sounds very weird to me, because I pronounce it 'mate' like the english word for friend.

There is also ubuntu-mate.org, which says it is pronounced 'mah-tay' and that is the only right pronunciation.

How would you pronounce it? Do you have any other suggestions?

If developers themselves specify the pronunciation, no one is more authorized to say otherwise. There cannot be other options after that.

So, it is what you already gave in the question. "mah-tay". As devs wrote here
