O-dee? I've heard Ow-dee (correct) and Ah-dee (incorrect), but never Oh-dee.

Default You have to understand something about the Germans.
Sometimes it seems like there are more dialects in Germany than in Southern India. If your friend is from Berlin it could easily be so... if from München is could be Ow-dee. From Hamburg (closest to hoch-Deutsche) ou-dee. Is like asking Robert Kennedy and Jeff Foxworthy to pronounce Pen
