Can someone tell me how to pronounce "Steyn?"

Is it like "steeen?"

Or like "stain?"

Or like "stine?"

That about covers the reasonable possibilities, I 'spose.

Just curious, dontcha know.

I pronounce it Schteyner, but think of it as Beer Stein! (STINE)

stein [st(imacr)n ] noun

1.  earthenware beer mug:  a large beer mug, especially a German earthenware or pewter one, often with a hinged lid

2.  quantity of beer:  the amount of beer or other liquid that a stein holds

[Mid-19th century. From German, shortening of Steinkrug "stoneware mug."]
