Do you say Nitch or Neesh ?
 

Well, which one do you say when pronouncing 'niche' ?

I don't pronounce. I type.

i'm somewhere in the middle of that. nish.

HAR HAR HAR you are smart.

"Nitch".

:thumbsup

Neesh..."nitch" sounds moronic to me

Same with me. It's a french word,it would be pronounced 'neesh'.. But almost everyone I speak to says 'nitch' - and now for me, nitch sounds almost better..

neesh.. nitch is for infidels

agreed.

Knee-Shhh

when I worked at WEGCash and I said 'neesh' Gabe would usually laugh at me .. so I started to call it 'nitch' but it always felt wrong and I often slid back to using 'neesh'

this is one of those.. I say tomato, you say tomato kinda things :winkwink:

I say it how it should be said NEESH

Admit it, you just want to be a frenchy canadian.

Freedom-Neesh.

in mainstream everyone says nitch only in this industry people say neeeeeeeeeeeech

Ditto for me, I used to say neesh and everyone looked at me like I was shitting on them, so I brought it down to nitch. After 7 years of saying nitch it seems more people are saying neesh.

I guess the moral of the story is you can never win and you're better off just staying true to yourself. :thumbsup

They're saying it wrong!!!

I think it's more of an american thing to say nitch. I can't really imagine many europeans calling it anything other than neesh.

niche :winkwink:

ditto. Exactly what I have found as well.

I say neesh :)

pronounce it kneeshhh

apparently it's correct both ways.. but 'nish' is the 'more correct' way

show me one example please

There is only one correct way. :batman

No where on this page (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/niche) do I see a little pronunciation icon that says "neesh", so since I take the advice of an actual dictionary over the drivel of a idiot who can't pronounce a word properly, I call it "nitch".

nitch, people pick and choose which accents they want to keep on words... once its been mericanized, its NIIIIITCH!

ive heard many say "neesh" though, and understand why, but there are so many English words that are not pronounced with their intended pronuciation, why start with this one? lolz

Exactly right.
It's like every menu in mediocre American restaurants, saying their meat comes "with au jus." :1orglaugh

Merriam Webster shows the first pronunciation as "nich" and secondary ones as neesh and nish.

So I would say nitch is most correct according to the dictionary. Can't really argue with that.

russians say NEESHA, so its a neesh TO ME

hahahahahahahaha

ok, since 'niche' is french, who is the drivelly idiot?

Dictionary > French.

I win. :1orglaugh

Neesh.

Just because most Americans butcher language whenever they get the opportunity, doesn't mean you should do so as well.

Ummm no. See Libertine's post above.

Do you say:
Kitch for Quiche?

neesh

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Yup ...........

i say keesh in that example.

love quiche

Niche, it's a french word and I say it the original way because I don't like to conform to words americans have changed the pronunciation of "just because".

http://encarta.msn.com/dictionary_/niche.html

niche [ nich, neesh ]
noun (plural nich·es)

both

In Amuricah, we say nitchEEE

ok, you guys have convinced me, from now on, its NEESH.

http://french.about.com/library/bl-frenchinenglish.htm

I should be ashamed, having French in my blood, I shouldve always said, neesh

:2 cents:

I pronounce it Niche

Dictionary > Libertine.

I win again. :1orglaugh

Same etymology, same pronunciation:)

BTW, in french, 'niche' means dog house / kennel :D
