It seems a simple question for those who know, but since you don't get a reply, I'll give it a go... (bear in mind I'm a beginner...)
Me thinks: cah-sir ? (i like in irrigation)

It's 'kuh' (as in 'kicking kuh' in the alphabet taught to children) -'seer'. That's the closest English approximation I can do. In IPA it's /ˈcə.sɪr/.

The 'ch' is a grammatical thing, when the word is on its own it's 'cysur'.
