Answer:

Two syllabols:
Zeit-geist.

Zeit- rhymes with 'fight'.

-geist … hmmm … lemme think.
Imagine pronouncing 'rice' with a 't' at the end: ricet. Just one syllabol. Now take off the 'r' and replace it with a hard 'g' (hard 'g' as in 'great' rather than soft 'g' as in 'German'.)

Does that help?
