Niche pronounced with a "ch" sound is wrong and dumb and I hate you
On that note: cache
Omg, I always pronounced it niche. Then slowly over the years I've gaslit myself into believing it's nitch because that's all I ever hear
How else would you say it?
I've only heard /niΚ/
Do some people say /nitΝ‘Κ/ ?
Those people who pronounce it 'nitch'? The word for that is WRONG. Those people deserve ridicule.
how is supposed to be? I pronounce it similar to the spanish one but with the english c sound
Rhymes with "sheesh"
So what sound should we use instead of "ch"? What about "ch"?
English spelling is so silly
It originates from French
Don't you mean French?
niche is french
"sh"
Don't you dare ask questions.
