Niche pronounced with a "ch" sound is wrong and dumb and I hate you

How else would you say it?

I've only heard /niʃ/

Do some people say /nitΝ‘Κƒ/ ?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 days ago

Rhymes with "sheesh"

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

So what sound should we use instead of "ch"? What about "ch"?

English spelling is so silly

Don't you dare ask questions.
