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. 😂

Lukas Rüger
If this discussion doesn't go viral, I will start pronouncing it "Nitch"
Carol Moh
@lrueger this needs to be included in any product demo video as part of your launch
Lukas Rüger
@carolmoh Definitely hahaha
Shabnam Katoch
@lrueger Ha Ha... I will feel weird calling it Nitch
Geri Máté
Who pronounces it nitch?😂
Carol Moh
@geri_mate Apparently according to Google it is common in the US!?
Tanja Kropf
@geri_mate tons of Americans. I had to train myself to switch to "neesh"
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 😂 It's the hard "che" like cheese?...Should we be saying sheese?
Simona O'Neill
@carolmoh 🤣Indeed. What a strange language 🤣
Haris Mohammad
@simona_o_neill3 yeah, it has to be neesh. No two ways about it.
Lukas Rüger
Most of the PH users probably call it "AI SaaS for Crypto-based community platform"
Carol Moh
@lrueger hahaha
Loane
neesh as a French
Carol Moh
@ipaparazzo_app haha this is the confirmation we all needed being that it is taken from the French language! 🙌
Loane
@carolmoh its because in France "ch" is pronounced "sh". the English "ch" doesn't exist for us ;)
Carol Moh
@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" 😂 High school GCSE french coming through 🇫🇷
Shivangi Awasthi
Neeeshhh haha that's right
Carol Moh
@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.

Neesh seems to be a clear winner. I'm glad I haven't been mispronouncing it 😊
