Neesh

Like quiche.

"Neesh" which is the correct way to say it as far as I am concerned. It has Latin roots but the word "niche" is French and that is how they say it.

Rhymes with fiche, quiche and capisce.

neesh for all purposes.

I've never heard anyone talk about a "nitch." Maybe an US dialect?

Nietzsche

Neesh

It was always "nitch" to me growing up in New England. Then I thought people were getting fancy and mispronouncing it as the internet rose. Then last year I found out that I am the idiot and "neesh" is the proper way.

But I still have a hard time saying it and not feeling pompous.

We are the knights who say... Neesh!

Nike. Just do it.

niːʃ

Nietzche

I kind of combine them. Neetch. It's kind of a niche pronunciation

Pretty sure the english pronunciation is Neesh, but the origin is french and is closer to Nish.

Do you mean nîche?

"neesh" refers to something small, specialized, or insular and a "nitch" is a small recess in a wall, imo.

Neesh interests

But don’t forget the nitch in the living room wall

The only time I've ever heard someone pronounce it nitch is when they've never actually heard it said aloud and only knew the word from reading it.

This is a great way to ask "did you grow up outside America, or as an American?"

I say it the wrong way, so you probably shouldn't ask me.

Neesh. That is the proper way.

Neetch

Nee-chuh.

The follow-up question is basically "Are you a non-American English speaker?", however you choose to parse that.

So, it's "neesh" for me.

Depends if we're talking about a hobby or a habitat.

Both, and I'm not sure I have a hard and fast rule saying when one over the other. It's probably some sort of soft rule I'm totally unaware of.

But both are correct. (though Nitch is more american and Neesh is more british.)

Nitch

Depends on whether I’m talking to an American or some other English or French speaker.

nī-txí

Noots

Neeshay, Rhymes with cliche.

"Klye-cH" is fine for that too, so I guess "Nye-ch" is nice.

Rhymes with bitch

Nizh

honestly I think I have used both.

necky (neh•kee): let's get niche
