How do you pronounce niche - "neesh" or "nitch"?

byβ€’

Our office just had a heated debate about pronouncing niche, so I have come to see if the PH community can give us the final verdict. πŸ˜‚

Who pronounces it nitch?πŸ˜‚

@geri_mate Apparently according to Google it is common in the US!?
Simona O'Neill
Only Niche (neesh)! I do hear a lot of Americans say nitch though which is very funny. There is no T in the word so not sure how they think that it should be pronounced like that 😊

@simona_o_neill3 and thus lies the issue with the English lanugage πŸ˜‚ It's the hard "che" like cheese?...Should we be saying sheese?

Most of the PH users probably call it "AI SaaS for Crypto-based community platform"

@ipaparazzo_app haha this is the confirmation we all needed being that it is taken from the French language! πŸ™Œ

@ipaparazzo_app The first thought when I read this was "wait what about cheese" but then I was like that's "fromage" and then the only word that came to mind was "chemise" πŸ˜‚ High school GCSE french coming through πŸ‡«πŸ‡·

Neeeshhh haha that's right

The word you're referring to is likely "niche." The pronunciation can vary, and both "neesh" and "nitch" are commonly accepted pronunciations.
