The meaning of ze is like...the,this,that...ect
It is a conceit of some native French speakers to pronounce the English article the as ze. There is no good reason for it, however, for although the th sound does not occur normally in French, it is commonly pronounced by lisping children.
================
Well... you could just as well say that it is conceit of English speakers to pronounce Spanish "modo" with an English "d" sound in the middle, in spite of the fact that the sound of this Spanish "d" exists (spelled "th") in English words liek "other."
Instead of conceit, though, I would say that it is the habit we have of putting all speech sounds into contexts with which we are familiar. Even thouth a Frenchman is capable of pronouncing the English "th" (and quite possibly as a youngster he had a lisp) it feels unnatural to him to do it intentionally.
Similarly, the word "gyros" in Greek begins with a sound we Anglophones are capable of imitating, but in practice we use either the "g" of "get" or the "y" of "yet." And because this word ends with "s" we even treat it as plural, and have invented the singular "gyro" which does not follow the Greek form.
==================
On the other hand, the questioner could be a British person asking about the American pronunciation of the letter Z. The letter pronounced "zed" in England is "zee" in the United States.
