Which way do you pronounce the word "Niche"?

It's French.

NEEsh

Nicht is German, completely different spelling, meaning, pronunciation ["nisht" is close, with the "i" as in "it", but the "ch" is a special sound you need to hear and work on in order to get it right]

@SomeMichGuy that's what I always thought but I've heard people say nitch 🤷‍♀️

@Lilymoon I've heard people say the Earth is flat.

Anyone with high school French should be able to pronounce it, and to have *Canadians* mispronounce it is just unbelievable, eh? Better consider this over some poutine or Timbits...

@Lilymoon Agreed...just wondered how you'd react! lol

@SomeMichGuy Never understood it, tbh. Who'd WANT to eat it? It seems it was invented to use up restaurant leftovers!

@SomeMichGuy yeah it's nasty.... I'm embarrassed it's Canadian Lmao

@Lilymoon We all have cultural pathologies which we'd *really* rather *not* explain.
