In English, the long /e/ is an open stretched-out way of pronouncing vowels. Imagine saying be, tree, or sheep slowly – that's the sound. This sound is written in different ways, but when it's at the end of a word, we often use the letter y to spell it.
You might notice that sometimes this sound isn't very strong. In some cases, it might even sound like the short /i/ sound you hear in words like sit. This happens because pronunciations sometimes vary depending on accent.
