How do you pronounce this word?

Knee shh

Why do you say it that way?

Just the way I was taught 🤷🏻

Also seems correct give that quiche is basically the same thing but with QU instead of....heh...N

Hmm. Maybe it’s regional then. It was always said as “nitch” when I was growing up. Only later did I hear people saying “neesh” was the correct pronunciation.

> It was always said as “nitch” when I was growing up.

I've heard and said it both ways over the years, but more commonly neesh. I don't think either is incorrect.

“Neesh” has only been a pronunciation since the 1900’s. But the word has been in English since the 1600’s as “nitch”.

@Rose @Omega_Variant @James_Dixon I say the former as an adjective, the latter as a noun is neesh vs a nitch
