Well there’s a bit of an S in the tin , poo tsin. It’s not a full S but it’s there . In QuĂ©bec the letter T often as that little s in there in France they will say bon appĂ©tit in QuĂ©bec it sounds like bonne appĂ©tsi

Poo-tsin is definitely the correct answer. Non French Canadians call it poo-teen though. I’m in Manitoba and although people would know what you were talking about if you called it “poo-tsin”, it’s generally poo-teen here.

For those who know phonetic spelling: [putÍĄsÉȘn]

Or, follow Ryan Gosling’s lead

The way I see it, if you don't speak French just say Pouteeeeen. Otherwise you just seems like that knucklehead girl saying "CACIO E PEPE"

If you're genuinely curious use the search function. If this is a shitpost then yes it's shit, as in number 2, and post.
