So I was watching a programme on TV and the above word was used, however the person pronounced it "nitch", I thought it didn't sound right and thought it should be pronounced "neesh". Is there any correct way of pronouncing this word?

My question is simple,do the people of OcUK pronounce it "nitch" or "neesh"?

Trying to insert a T where it isn't there is ******* stupid to me.

Definitely should be pronounced "neesh".

Were they American? According the the ever reliable Urban Dictionary 'nitch' is a US pronunciation of niche.

I'm pretty sure he was German.

and it's NEE CHEY.

It's Americans who say 'nitch', because they're not very good at English, especially English words which originated in another language
