See te in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Interjection

IPA: [ˈtʲɛ] Forms: tè [canonical]
Rhymes: -ɛ Etymology: Cognate with Latvian te. The interjection is identical to Ancient Greek τῆ (tê, “here!, take this!”), which Beekes derives from Proto-Indo-European *teh₁, the instrumental neuter singular form of *tód. Compare Gothic 𐌱𐌹𐌸𐌴 (biþē, “while”), 𐌳𐌿𐌸𐌴 (duþē, “therefore”), Tocharian A ca-, Tocharian B ce (“demonstrative pronoun”) < *tē, and possibly Old Armenian թէ (tʻē, “that”).
