is niche pronounced "Nitch" or "Neesh"? - Page 2 - GoFuckYourself.com

REßEL · 12-04-2006, 07:23 AM

I guess all you ignoramuses would

call quiche - quitch

1: it's french.
2: it has an e on the end which softens the ch.

The friggin American dictionaries are just trying to justify butchering yet another word by telling you it's ok to say it nitch. If it was nich then yes, then you'd be right. But you're not, get over it. All you do is prove you're just another stupid ignorant american when you pronounce it nitch. It does you no favours.

Jesus, now you're calling the people who write American dictionaries idiots because they don't agree with you.

And we wonder why Americans think Europeans are snotty little pricks.

Barefootsies · 12-04-2006, 08:23 AM

It depends on, if you are French, and say it in between your wee-wee's with your pinky in the air.

SCORE Ralph · 12-04-2006, 08:37 AM

considering Im in the U.S. Im going to say we use "niche". Id use "neesh" if I was in the UK.

SCORE Ralph · 12-04-2006, 08:42 AM

correction: niche as in "nitch".

alexg · 12-04-2006, 08:52 AM

neesh is probably more correct... since it sounds like a word that came from french...

I am one of *they* but I never got saying 'We will use the word from another language but screw pronouncing it correctly' thing. If you are going to say it differently than make up your own word.

s9ann0 · 12-04-2006, 09:32 AM

stupid people say nitch and for non-stupid people its neesh

rogueteens · 12-04-2006, 09:34 AM

neesh obviously

I did mean they as in those that pronounce it nitch, and argue that it's not french anymore ;)

I also accept that those saying nitch may not be ignorant and stupid. But first impessions count. And anyone that says nitch to me will automatically give the impression of being ignorant and/or uneducated.

reynold · 12-04-2006, 09:41 AM

It should be pronounced as "NITCH"

Ah, I thought they was American..fair enough.

Nitch makes me cringe much like those people back home that say "ruff" for "roof".

cosis · 12-04-2006, 09:45 AM

"NITCH" - I've only heard Canadians say "NEESH"

Manowar · 12-04-2006, 09:47 AM

neesh...

Magalie · 12-04-2006, 09:59 AM

Well...considering its a french word, it should be Neesh. There are many french words used in english, we don't change the pronunciation !

But both are accepted it seems.

E$_manager · 12-04-2006, 10:04 AM

Neesh.

Is this thread still going on? Jeez... it's not a debate on "opinions" - learn how to pronounce words or get back to school

Ycaza · 12-04-2006, 10:34 AM

since its a french word, might as well say it properly, Neesh. If you have defended saying it as nitch, you have shown nothing but ignorance.
