I pronounce Niche like neesh (nitch sounds dumb)

Good for you. Wanna cookie?

So, out of interest how would americans pronouncs "nouveau riche"?

 

[artizhay]

"Neesh" is correct, though I do prefer "nitch" because that's how everyone else in America says it (mostly) and so if you were trying to talk to someone and said "neesh," they may not even know what you mean lol.

Also, Fiverr is about $5 services (or now services that start with the number 5, but I digress), so it begs to be pronounced "five-er." Who in the world would think they intended it to be "fivver"?

So, out of interest how would americans pronouncs "nouveau riche"?

Given that a standard American could even pronounce that, I'm pretty sure it would be unanimously "noovoh reesh." I'm sure someone could find a way to fuck it up though if they try hard enough. Hell, it actually wouldn't take that much effort. "Nohvoh rich" seems a likely candidate.

I am a Texan and I pronounce it neesh. There is no "itch", not even a "tch" there, where did they come up with that?

Sorry old salt, turns out you are an odd salt too.

But then again, I know what "Tump" means, so maybe it's me...

Click the little speaker, that's how I pronounce it.

And I pronounce "douche" like this: "doo-shay", because "doosh" is too masculine.

However "Stupid fucking thread" is still pronounced in the standard manner.

it's the lounge man, relax..

Niche = Neech. In swedish it is like "nitch" and that sounds retarded - literally. Heard the word once and couldn't figure out what the guy was talking about lol

What if you met a prospective client who was well-versed in cultural nuances? Pronouncing "niche" incorrectly could drastically alter the outcome of your business relationship or prevent it from happening altogether.

i am pretty sure neesh is the correct way op as others have pointed out

Mathematical equation:

If Niche = Neesh / Neech / Nitch-ay / Notch
and
Biche = beesh / beech / bitch-ay / bitch

Solve for b, given that N > b

 

[artizhay]

Mathematical equation:

If Niche = Neesh / Neech / Nitch-ay / Notch
and
Biche = beesh / beech / bitch-ay / bitch

Solve for b, given that N > b

INVALID EQUATION.
Given variables should be expressed as sets.

Niche = {Neesh,Neech,Nitch-ay,Notch}
Biche = {beesh,beech,bitch-ay,bitch}

Problem cannot be solved given the improper syntax, as current syntax implies division.

Still, 42 will be used as a fallback.

If they where well versed, they would be aware of the different ways to pronounce niche. So...

IMO if they were serious about business they wouldn't care how you pronounce it as long as you know what you're doing.

You would be surprised in the importance people place on knowing what you're doing, including pronouncing words properly. There are many inferences that can be made about someone who is unaware how to do something properly, even something small like pronounce a word.
