Hi, I am wondering which pronunciation is right, "teen-a-ger" or "tee-na-ger"?
I have listened to almost every clip on Youtube and they all pronounced as "tee-na-ger" to my ears, but some of my friends said it should be pronounced as "teen-a-ger".
And I have searched for the syllable of this word, and the result is "teen.ag.er" (This is the site I found:https://www.howmanysyllables.com/words/teenager)
So I'm very confused right now. Or, is it possible that both of them are correct?
Thank you so much!

Thank you all for answering my questions!
Just found that I wasn't being specific enough, so I clear my thoughts again.
Does the [n] sound continuously link to the [e] sound, and it will be sounded like "teen-na-ger", or the [n] and the [e] sound are separated?
