do you say Neesh or Nitch?
Neesh.
I’ve never heard “Nitch”, I assume it’s a very niche pronunciation.
Neesh
neesh for all purposes.
I’ve never heard anyone talk about a “nitch.” Maybe an US dialect?
Pronouncing it “nitch” is how biologists pronounce niche when talking about “that thing an organism does well to survive”

Everyone who has played through GTA 5 has heard the pronunciation “nitch” here: https://youtu.be/FlzZhGr8G9w?t=79
I (nonnative speaker of English) used to think it was pronounced neesh because my first language’s cognate (Nische) is pronounced similar to that. But since hearing that scene I know that’s not universally the case.

“neesh” refers to something small, specialized, or insular and a “nitch” is a small recess in a wall, imo.
Neesh
Like quiche.
Keetch?
Kwitch

“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).
Nietzsche
God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him.
Knee-chee

Neeshjuh?
Neesh interests
But don’t forget the nitch in the living room wall
Rhymes with fiche, quiche and capisce.
We are the knights who say… Neesh!
niːʃ
I say it more like nɪʃ personally.
Nooooo! Have mercy!
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
I kind of combine them. Neetch. It’s kind of a niche pronunciation
I say it the wrong way, so you probably shouldn’t ask me.
I say it the opposite way
