I say "say-oh", too....with the emphasis on the "say".
"Tunze" is a German brand, so to be precise, you should follow German pronunciation...which is a bit difficult to explain. lol.
The "tun" part should make the same sound the "oo" makes in "wood". The "z" should be pronounced like the "zz" in "pizza" (almost a t/z sound). The "e" should sound like "uh".
Sheeesh. Anyone confused yet?!
I always said ap-tay-sia ("sia" sounds like....the end of fantasia). Anyone say "ape-tay-sia"?
The one that gets me (and that I've heard others fumble over, too) is acanthastrea. Is it a hard "a" at the beginning, like acorn? Or a soft "a" like apple?
