do you say Neesh or Nitch?
Nike. Just do it.
Nitch
“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.
I pronounce it ‘neesh’ as well, but we’re going to get into trouble if we pronounce everything with French/Norman/Latin routes the way it is (or was).
Depends if we’re talking about a hobby or a habitat.
niːʃ
I have no idea what this spelling is called and I have no idea what any of the letters mean. Phonetic spelling? Regardless, it’s so intuitive to instantly know how to pronounce it.
IPA or international phonetic ale
Nooooo! Have mercy!
I say it more like nɪʃ personally.
Rhymes with fiche, quiche and capisce.
Like quiche.
Keetch?
Kwitch
Kwee-Tchay
quicky
A woman is eating alone at a restaurant. Her waiter makes some small talk, takes her drinks order, and brings over some nibbles. She’s friendly and the waiter thinks she’s flirting with him. She’s ready to order and thinks this is his chance, swaggers up to the table, leans over to her and whispers, “fancy a quickie?” She stands up, slaps him in the face and storms out of the restaurant. Someone from the neighbouring table says to him, “Ah, I think it’s pronounced ‘quiche.’”
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.)
Neeshay, Rhymes with cliche.
“Klye-cH” is fine for that too, so I guess “Nye-ch” is nice.
I have never ever heard someone pronounce “cliche” any other way than “klee-shay”.
A person of refined taste right here. Very nic
heI’d pronounce it clee-shay. Are there really people that rhyme that with niche?
If they do they’re wrong. It’s cliché; the French é sounds like “ay”. 🇫🇷
nī-txí
Neetch
Nietzsche
Knee-chee
Have you met his sister Kim?
God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him.
Pretty sure the english pronunciation is Neesh, but the origin is french and is closer to Nish.
It’s tge otger way around. Tge correct way is neesh with a a longer i, but americans say nish like Nish Kumar
I kind of combine them. Neetch. It’s kind of a niche pronunciation
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.
Out of curiosity, which part of New England? It was always “neesh” for me (Northeastern CT).
Way up heah in Maine, bub.
There isn’t a proper way, both are correct. I opt for neesh personally
That damn downvoter is always getting me too! And a lot of the times his friends join him.
