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

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. ๐Ÿ˜‚

@ipaparazzo_app haha this is the confirmation we all needed being that it is taken from the French language! ๐Ÿ™Œ

@carolmoh its because in France "ch" is pronounced "sh". the English "ch" doesn't exist for us ;)

@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" ๐Ÿ˜‚ High school GCSE french coming through ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท

Neeeshhh haha that's right

@shivangiawasthi I am predicting a victory for team neesh
Alessandro Bignami
The word you're referring to is likely "niche." The pronunciation can vary, and both "neesh" and "nitch" are commonly accepted pronunciations.
