Huh. That's interesting, because "tele-seen" is exactly how I've always pronounced it. 'Cause it's short (three syllables, versus four for "te-li-si-ni"), and short for "cinema", which is French (but missing an accent acute), and pronounced (roughly) "seen-ay-ma". Hence "seen" as the shortified version...

Does anybody use "teli-sini"? That doesn't seem right. If you're gonna pronounce the 'e', then surely more of an "ay" sound (like the complete e-acute sound in French) would be appropriate?
