How is ´msn´ pronounced in Turkish? 

The american way (em es en) or the turkish way (me se ne).

 

I really don´t know, so maybe a native could help me with this.

I think MSN is pronounced the Turkish way (me - se- ne) because when I bought a USB-stick in Bursa I had to spell it the same way (u - se - be) to make the salesman understand me.

most people say "em es en". rarely some people pronounce as "me se ne".

 

I have never pronounced as "me se ne".

yes as i understand letter M is not read as EM but MA, ES read as SE and EN read as NE.  I remember my turkish friend who will say say "simile" but he meant as "smiley"{#lang_emotions_bigsmile}

Thanks, everyone. I´ll stick to dilli´s pronunciation in future. I guess all words from outside of Turkey should be pronounced in it´s original way. Otherwise we would get things like

dzjodzjo dzjola and such.
