Wrong Pronunciation.There is no word I can think of in the English language where 'e' is pronounced 'IE' (eye). It's completely illogical and there's no way you can legitimately pronounce it that way.seh-ruh-FEE-muh would work. If you want sie-ruh-FEE-muh you need Sirafima or Syrafema.

The "sye" part is "s" + "yeh"

In phonetic English, yes. Well, it's Russian and the database says it's a pronounciation for it (probably the Russian one), but that doesn't necessarily mean it is correct.

*clears it up* That doesn't rhyme with 'eye'I've had this problem myself. It's actually s+ye. So it's like the beginning of the word "yes" with an S in front. See-eh almost.Of course maybe that's what you meant!Anywho, the name reminds me of Styrofome.
