    I've always said "tine" as the spelling of tein is the same as Einstein.

        except Einstein is German, and Tein is Japanese.

        thats like me saying Escargot is pronounced "ess-car-got"

        If you want to pronounce it how a JDM land person would say it, it would be pronounced "Tain" as its consisted of the 3 japanese syllables "Te" "i" "n"

                  There's a catalogue that calls the hicas system "super high cast". I've always pronounced it as 'hy-cus'

                  And I'm one of those that call tein 'tea-en'. I just assumed it was the same as the dragonball guy Tein!

                    dragonball was dubbed with american actors so it could very well be mispronounced, i was thinking about that....

                          I guess I'm wrong then. I used to say "tain" until i watched a video a while ago that went into detail of a time attack evo VIII and they said "tine". Tee-en still annoys me though.
