Common mistakes of niche pronunciation
- Mispronouncing "niche" as "nitch": Some people say "nitch" /nɪtʃ/, which is incorrect. In American English, the correct pronunciation is /niːʃ/. Tip: Remember that "niche" rhymes with "she."
- Stressing the wrong syllable: A common mistake is placing stress on the second syllable, saying "ni-CHE" instead of the correct "NICH-e" /ˈniːʃ/. Tip: Focus on the first syllable for proper emphasis.
- Confusing "niche" with "nitch": Some speakers blend "niche" with "nitch," leading to confusion. The UK pronunciation is /nɪʃ/, while the US is /niːʃ/. Tip: Practice both pronunciations to distinguish them clearly.
- Using "niche" inappropriately: Misusing "niche" in contexts where it doesn't fit can lead to misunderstandings. It refers to a specialized segment, not just any small space. Tip: Understand the meaning to use it correctly.
- Overpronouncing the "ch": Some people overly articulate the "ch" sound, saying "niche" as "nee-chee" /niːtʃi/. This is incorrect in both US and UK pronunciations. Tip: Keep the ending smooth and concise, just "niche."
