    Our office just had a heated debate about pronouncing niche, so I have come to see if the PH community can give us the final verdict. ๐Ÿ˜‚

    Only Niche (neesh)! I do hear a lot of Americans say nitch though which is very funny. There is no T in the word so not sure how they think that it should be pronounced like that ๐Ÿ˜Š

    Most of the PH users probably call it "AI SaaS for Crypto-based community platform"

    The word you're referring to is likely "niche." The pronunciation can vary, and both "neesh" and "nitch" are commonly accepted pronunciations.

    Neesh seems to be a clear winner. I'm glad I haven't been mispronouncing it ๐Ÿ˜Š

    @ipaparazzo_app The first thought when I read this was "wait what about cheese" but then I was like that's "fromage" and then the only word that came to mind was "chemise" ๐Ÿ˜‚ High school GCSE french coming through ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท
