Niche - how do YOU pronounce it?

I find it interesting hearing web marketing podcasts that most people here pronounce niche as "nitch". I've never heard it pronounced that way here in Australia (we say it more like "neesh") and was wondering how you say it in your country?

I'm not saying "neesh" is right by any means.. after all, our prisons are called "gaols" here and not "jails".. how weird is that?

 

Pronounce it as neeshhhhhhhh

Didn't try nitch till now

 

Neesh for me!

 

Rhymes with quiche...

 

I pronounce it as neesh or somethign which sounds like niish. Nitch...uhm..that isn't the way I pronounce it at all..

BTW,this is what Merriam Webster has to say
"Pronunciation: 'nich also 'nEsh or 'nish"

 

I've always said neesh... but I'm an Aussie too.

 

I thought it was something like NichA

 

NetMidWest is a poet and he doesn't know it!

 

when i was talking to my mom bout how i make nitch websites, she said, you mean "neesh?"

 

its neesh.

anyone who says 'nitch' is either not speaking engleesh, has a strong accent or is confused.

 

Nitch is not neesh unless you pronounce B-itch Beesh. or pitch peesh. This is not french my fair friends it is English. The Germans would very dismayed that the French are finally winning at something.

 

You defenitely got your Engleesh down

 

Both are perfectly acceptable: http://www.bartleby.com/64/C007/0139.html

The US pronunciation is always [nitch].

 

i use neesh

 

I say neesh-ay lol

 

Nee-sh for me too!

 

The majority of americans that I know pronounce it as nitch. I, as a Brit, always pronounce it as neesh.

 

Neeeesh here as well neva tried nitch or any other

 

Niche is as niche, aka "neesh". Its afrench word i believe.

 

But if you pronounce niche as nitch, that would make quiche sound like kitsch...
